Dance Alchemy

Dance Alchemy is a two day guided dance re-treat which will take you on a cathartic journey of rediscovering yourself through the medium of dance and movement, 

As a participant of this programme, our facilitator intends to take you through the series of dance-based activities and tasks which are playful in nature bringing in the sense of nourishment for your mind body and soul. The program has been designed to take your mind away from the daily rush of stress and help you find the deeper connection with yourself in the lap of Mother Nature. 

Dancing is an excellent way to connect with someone, get exercise but most of all have fun! Dance therapy is the psychotherapeutic use of movement to further the emotional, cognitive, physical, social, and spiritual integration of the individual.
