Qigong, improvisational movements, Taoist cosmology
In Taoist practice, human body and all living beings of nature are enlivened by the universal energy called qi. Qigong, the practice of qi, cultivates physical vitality, mental clarity and a sense of belonging.
Dancing Tao integrates elements of dance and improvisation with qigong. Influenced with a feminine touch, Dancing Tao emphasizes on playfulness and relational dynamic. You are empowered to discover your unique way of moving with the qi.
