Healing Dance is a synthesis of Watsu, Trager Work, WaterDance, and pure movement. It combines the freedom, scope and 3 dimensionality of WaterDance with the safety and nurturing of Watsu. The approach is based on the healing power of movement and how the body naturally moves in water.
The movements are hydrodynamic and spacious, featuring over twenty different undulating wave movements that integrate the body and release blocked energies. Quiet embraces, releases, tractions, smooth transitions and massage are all woven together in an unending flow. Life and movement re-enter the body.With over twenty five years experience in ballet, modern and free movement exploration, Alexander brings an exceptional insight and creativity into aquatic bodywork. In 1990 he began to develop The Healing Dance, bringing the joy and exhilaration of the dance into the therapy pool. Since then it has been taught in the United States, Brazil, England, Germany and Switzerland. In 1999 Alexander and Inika created Healing Dance Above and Below from old material of Alexander's and new material they created together, bringing the flow of Healing Dance to the underwater work.
