Fernanda’s classes will work with grounding into moving, and dropping into dancing, through somatic enquiry and in practices of listening and actioning. Exploring grounding into presence through being and becoming, and dancing into awareness in solo and relational practices.
In the mix will be – guided movement explorations, tuning sensory information, moving and witnessing, infant movement development patterns and body work.
Participants will work with experiencing and tuning perception into doing and orienting to our body-minds, the space and others.
These classes are open to those wanting to enquire into knowns and unknowns of the stuff of our bodies and beings in movement and dancing practices. Come as you are and use what is useful to you at your own pace.

Cancellations and refunds
Prices for classes are kept very low and are subsidised by ID in order to support artists to attend. To keep admin manageable for our small team, we don’t offer refunds if you cancel or can’t attend a class, and we can’t transfer your booking to a different class/event. We hope this is understandable. If a class is cancelled or changed by ID however, we do offer refunds/transfers to everyone who has booked.
