Südpol-dance: Somatic Booty Shaking with Maria Mercedes Flores Mujica

Südpol-dance format

In Somatic Booty Shaking, we explore the pelvis as the moving motor of our bodies by means of a rhythmical and somatic approach. Mechanically the pelvis is seen as the centre of our bodies and the key to deal with our weight and its mechanics. Energetically, it is perceived and understood as the trigger point for creativity and aliveness. Working with playfulness, the training encourages liveliness and proposes different ways of inviting movement to negotiate with weight, release tensions and strengthen the core.
