Somatic Fan Dancing: Embodying Movement, Emotion, and Flow

Workshop Overview:
Join us for a transformative Somatic Fan Dancing Workshop, where movement becomes a pathway to deeper body awareness, emotional expression, and sensory exploration. Blending the principles of Somatic Experiencing with the art of fan dance, this workshop invites you to connect with your body, breath, and emotions in a new and liberating way.

What to Expect:

🌿 Body Awareness & Somatic Exploration
Discover how fan dancing can heighten your internal experience. Through guided movement exercises, you’ll attune to the subtle sensations of the fabric gliding across your skin, the air shifting with each motion, and the deepened connection between mind and body.

💃 Emotional Expression Through Movement
Fans serve as an extension of your body, allowing you to embody a spectrum of emotions—from playfulness and joy to vulnerability and empowerment. Through gentle somatic prompts, explore how movement and fan manipulation can become tools for authentic self-expression.

🔄 Flow & Improvisation
Somatic dance encourages spontaneity and presence. With fans in hand, you’ll learn to embrace the unpredictable, moving fluidly with your breath, your energy, and the surrounding space. This practice cultivates mindfulness and adaptability, helping you stay grounded in the moment.

👁 Sensory Awakening
Experience the rich textures, colors, and dynamic movements of the fans as a gateway to heightened sensory awareness. The sound of the fabric slicing through the air, the shifts in weight, and the visual beauty of flowing fans create a deeply immersive dance experience.

🌀 Ritual & Symbolic Meaning
Fans hold deep cultural and historical significance. In this workshop, you’ll be invited to explore their symbolic meaning in your own movement practice—whether as a tool for storytelling, transformation, or personal empowerment.

Who Is This For?
This workshop is open to all levels—no prior dance experience is required. Whether you’re a dancer, a movement enthusiast, or simply someone seeking a deeper connection with your body, this journey into somatic fan dance will leave you feeling more embodied, expressive, and alive.

Come with an open heart, a curious mind, and a willingness to move!
