Dance with Flying Fox is a mindful dance journey with live music tailored to dancers’ moment-to-moment vibration, coming home to our bodies and exploring our authentic movement, emotion, social connections, and spirituality.

The framework of Dance with Flying Fox is rooted in Taoism and dance culture from southwest China, where dance is part of our daily life. In this dance culture, we dance to imitate, exaggerate, elaborate, communicate, and transform our experience of life; men working in the field, women doing laundry by the river, children playing, fox preying… It is a way of keeping in touch with our experience and embodied process through moving perspectives. I also blend in various movement traditions and psychotherapy, e.g., sufi-dance, movement meditation, contact improvisation, existential psychotherapy, and expressive art therapy.

Key elements of my dance journey include:

• Finding freedom of motion in our emotional, social, physical, and spiritual being. Letting go of judgments.

• Widening our dance repertoire by increasing awareness and breaking away from habits

• (Re)establishing connections to ourselves and others with loving intention

In this session (18th Nov 2023), we will dance using our body as an musical instrument, activities includes:

- Strengthen your musicality through music diversity from around the world, tango, blues, reggae, Bharatanatyam……

- Unlock movement potential in our body parts with mindful rhythmic response

- Play with our bodies like instruments, finding your rhythm, melody, and phrases

- Experiment with different musical encounters in pairs and groups: layering, contrasting, exaggerating, complementing……
