What is Dancing Mindfulness?
In Dancing Mindfulness, participants use dance to achieve mindfulness.
Mindfulness-
- a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.
The act of noticing without judging how we move, feel and think is integral to the practice.
During a dancing mindfulness class or individual session participants are not taught to dance or required to achieve any specific level of dance.
Dancing Mindfulness is trauma informed and adaptable to different ability levels.
You are accepted as you are and encouraged to do what you feel.
The facilitator will make suggestions during the class, but they are just that suggestive.
