DANCE WEEKEND IMMERSION

CONJURE MOTION MOVEMENT LANGUAGE

Kick off 2023 with 12 hours of movement exploration in an awesome community vibe!  Connect, learn and practice the Conjure Motion dance vocabulary developed and facilitated by Tanya Lee. Learn and play with a series of choreographed moves inspired by an ancient symbolic language that connects our body-mind to the qualities of fire, water, air, earth.  All experience levels, backgrounds, bodies, and genders are welcomed. Modifications can be provided for some physical limitations.

At the end of the weekend you will have learned 16 different dance combinations inspired by global house music, anchored in yogic energy centers, and created from movement qualities found in EDM culture, bellydance fusion, martial arts, MENAHT dance, SIGIL style, sports conditioning, and yoga. You can use these combinations to create your own personal practice, and/or dance it with friends using group improvisational (ITS) concepts.   Read more about Conjure Motion.

“It feels like a dance because of the choreographed movements and emotional expression, but it also feels like yoga or martial arts with attention to alignment, mental focus, and subtle energy awareness.”⁠
