WORKSHOP - Intro to Liquid Motion® - April 14
Sunday, 2:45pm – 4pm
In this 75 minute workshop, students are introduced to the Liquid Motion movement methodology. Liquid Motion is a method of sensual movement. “Sensual” is not synonymous with “Sexual”. Sensual movement is the “Activation of the senses to create total body awareness. The ability to fully understand how your body naturally moves and what that feels like will ultimately give you the fluidity and Liquid style you are looking for. Liquid Motion does not teach you to be sexy, it teaches you to be sensual, and proud of it.”
Students will learn the Liquid Motion techniques and fundamentals disguised in floor work, body conditioning, travel movement drills, intricate floor progressions, and of course, the exploration of Liquid Motion’s sensual movement. But the most important takeaway will be an understanding of total body awareness and an acceptance and love of oneself.
No dance experience necessary! Please bring knee pads.

WORKSHOP - Intro to Liquid Motion® - May 19
Sunday, 3pm – 4:15pm
In this 75 minute workshop, students are introduced to the Liquid Motion movement methodology. Liquid Motion is a method of sensual movement. “Sensual” is not synonymous with “Sexual”. Sensual movement is the “Activation of the senses to create total body awareness. The ability to fully understand how your body naturally moves and what that feels like will ultimately give you the fluidity and Liquid style you are looking for. Liquid Motion does not teach you to be sexy, it teaches you to be sensual, and proud of it.”
Students will learn the Liquid Motion techniques and fundamentals disguised in floor work, body conditioning, travel movement drills, intricate floor progressions, and of course, the exploration of Liquid Motion’s sensual movement. But the most important takeaway will be an understanding of total body awareness and an acceptance and love of oneself.
No dance experience necessary! Please bring knee pads.
