MORE THAN A WAVE Workshop WEEKEND WITH ALEX
All levels. All styles.
This weekend with Alex offers a deep dive into the art of waving, blending technique, creativity, and personal exploration. We’ll begin by building a strong foundation, understanding the mechanics and principles behind waves to create clear, intentional movement and seamless flow through the body and space.
From there, we’ll expand into creative concepts, using tools like tracing and floorwork to unlock new ways of thinking, moving, and composing. Through guided exercises, participants will learn how to transform simple ideas into dynamic, expressive movement, turning practice into a space for exploration and play.
Beyond technique and creation, this intensive invites a deeper journey inward. Using waving as a medium, we’ll explore connection, sensation, and expression. This allows for movement to become a language that reflects both inner experience and artistic voice.
Together, this weekend is more than just training. It’s an opportunity to refine your movement, expand your creativity, and reconnect with what truly moves you.

Technique & flow
In this workshop, we will be introduced to the art of waving, delving deep into both the foundational techniques and the underlying principles that drive them. By understanding the logic behind the movement, we’ll gain a more profound grasp of how to create the illusions we want through our waves. Once we’ve researched that, we will transition into exploring flow—connecting continuous motion throughout space while simultaneously maintaining the natural rhythm and fluidity of waves within our bodies. This combination of technique and flow will allow us to create dynamic, seamless movements that captivate and engage.

CONCEPTS
In this workshop, we’ll dive into the world of concepts, using tracing as a primary entry point to understand how ideas are built and applied in movement. By breaking down what a concept truly is, we’ll explore how to use the tools we already have to create, expand, and evolve our movement vocabulary. From there, we’ll learn how to apply this approach to other concepts, unlocking new pathways for creativity and innovation.
We’ll also work in depth with the floor, using simple methods and accessible tools to turn our practice into a space of exploration and play. Through guided exercises, we’ll tap into our natural abilities, using waving as the medium to discover new possibilities and create movement with greater ease, fluidity, and intention.

MORE THAN A WAVE
This workshop offers a journey that goes far beyond movement or technique—it’s an invitation to explore the inner landscape, using Waving not merely as a dance style but as a way into the self.
By tuning into each sensation and turning inwards, participants are encouraged to connect deeply with the heart, the core of their being.
Through this process, movement becomes more than movement; it transforms into a language of the soul, a rhythmic flow connecting the physical and the spiritual.
The goal is not simply to move, but to feel, to uncover, and to give voice to the deep undercurrents of our emotions. Each wave, each ripple of the body, becomes a silent yet profound dialogue between the self and the universe—both within and beyond.
This is “more than just dance”; it is a grounding, centering experience. Each movement in this workshop is an opportunity to connect with what truly moves us—an exploration of the beautiful, powerful force within that waits to be expressed.
It is, ultimately, a journey back home.
