Dance, heart & mind is an initiative by Suhaee Abro to teach and explore with dance and movement.

The sessions and workshops take place virtually as well as physically; and they are offered in groups and also individually.

What is Dance, Heart & Mind?

● In simple words it is; movement meditation, holistic dancing, Improvisation, Connecting to yourself and to your body.

● Dance, heart & mind is a process of movement meditation and exploration that eventually leads to improvisation, contemporary dance and choreography, depending on who the participants of this process are, be it a session or a workshop.

● Understanding what is movement.

● Understanding how our body moves and what is our way of expression.

● Accepting and acknowledging our comfort zone and our body’s limits but also exploring what is beyond our body’s limitations.

● For those participants who eventually would like to explore with contemporary dance through these sessions, the next step after learnig to fully immerse ourselves into our body and movements is to begin exploring with and learning technical elements. Learning any dance technique is like learning a language which we speak through our bodies.

● In these sessions, the techniques that will be focused on will bring together several key elements of contemporary dance, such as torso and legwork coordination, spatial awareness, rhythmic accuracy and erratic changes in speed, direction and improvisation. These also include elements of Body, Energy, Space, Action and Time.
