Body Template is a workshop designed for exploring dance with playfulness, structure, and curiosity to facilitate creative inspiration, expression, and adaptation for any level of movement. Explore the body's ability to move in a way that can make flow, rhythm, timing, and coordination easier to access. ⁠

Join us for our incredible TUESDAY Oct 13th lineup with three powerhouse women bringing the medicine to Portland! 🥰

We will start the evening at 7pm with Dance Of Shiva led by Mandy Krueger (https://www.mandykruger.com). Mandy Kruger MA is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Licensed Bodyworker, and Yoga teacher. This practice draws from classical Ta**ra (not neo-tantra) and Indian Temple Dance. Learn a series of Karanas 'stances' that energetically root the body into the stabilizing earth element, stoke the inner fire and harness the internal winds to feel the inherent 'dance' of life force energy--Shivas drum beat. Using squats, spirals and non linear movement to create a supportive vessel for the coiled serpent of kundalini energy to rise. Subtle hand and foot gestures awaken the subtle body where life is felt, rather than thought. We will begin with a simple joint warm up and move into the Karanas. Each offering a symbolic gesture. This will be an excellent way to root into your own dance before moving freeform on the dance floor.
