The Holistic Dance Teachers Training is accredited by ISMETA (International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association). The Teachers Training is focused on the holistic aspects of dance, movement and touch. Exploring the sensitivity of our inner body (soma) and the movability of our outer body (physis) creates a field of relationships that promotes health, resilience and development.
The intimate research into and with the BodyMind allow for rich relationships to Self, Other and Space/Environment/Spirit. By exploring our own creative, embodiment process, we access the pedagogy needed for teaching and sharing these approaches to other people.
The Holistic Dance Teachers Training is for people who are engaged in artistic, therapeutic, pedagogic, social, medicinal settings or professions, with an interest in creative, embodied and transformational learning. Participants are welcome to join the Teachers Training both for their individual developmental process and as a professional training. This professional training is open to all regardless of age, identity, origin or professional background.
The Teachers Training offers trauma-sensitive approaches through dance, movement and touch and does not substitute psychotherapy.
