SENTI ~ dance workshops in closeness – Oleksandra Mala and Bartek Zieliński / September 14-15

SENTI is a dance of feminine and masculine energy. It is a combination of movement, touch and closeness. It is a transition from a state of action to a state of feeling, which may result in pleasure.

Welcome to a unique dance event that will change your perspective of dance and connection with your partner. An extraordinary journey through the world of dance pleasure awaits you. It’s a combination of body, music and emotions that will make you forget about everything around you for a moment.
SENTI dance is not based on complicated sequences of steps, but on spontaneity, letting go and entering into feeling. By dancing in this technique, you will feel that your bodies become one with the music, and your partner is your guide on this magical journey.
The goal of SENTI is to pair up and take your partner on an amazing journey through dance and touch. It is an entry into flow, allowing the other person to fully surrender, relax and enter a state of trance ✨ It is a response to the longing for connection and full surrender in dance.

During the workshops we will work on the following areas:
💫 getting out of your head and entering the feeling state, which makes it easier to enter flow and feel more pleasure
💫 basics of improvised solo dance, as building foundations for dancing in pairs
💫 mindful touch and its various types
💫 creating your safe space in dance – setting boundaries and communicating them during dance
💫 interpreting music, distinguishing a musical phrase and following it, playing with a pause
💫 synchronization with a partner, entering into connection using movement and breathing
💫 various leading techniques, thanks to which we will dance together with our partner, instead of just leading
💫 dedication to dance vs. creating your own creation and how to consciously choose between them

This workshop is for you if:
– you are in your head all the time and you want to focus on feeling
– you find it hard to let go of control and you want to feel what it’s like to trust
– you want to deepen your relationship with your partner or ignite a new spark between you 🔥
– you want to bring the quality of flow and relaxation to your movement
– you want to add more pleasure to your dancing

You can come to the workshops alone or in pairs. During the classes, we will take turns in pairs, unless one pair wants to stay alone. If you sign up solo, we will make sure that each of you has a pair to exercise with.

No level of dancing skill is necessary. We invite experienced people, beginners and also those who just want to start their adventure with dancing to the SENTI workshop.

Leader:
Bartek Zieliński – associated with dance for 7 years. He started with Brazilian forró dance, which took him to Brazil, where he spent 1.5 years training as an instructor. There he learned the magic of connection and closeness in dance, which, after his return, he also began to develop in contact improv and zouk. She combines dance with meditation practices and mindfulness, which she considers an important tool in building a connection with another person. He travels around the world to dance, looking for inspiration to constantly improve his technique and craft.

Oleksandra Mala (Sasza) – tantrik, leader of women’s masterminds and retreats, author of the transformation game “The Source of Your Power”, dancer and vocalist. She leads women to their power through circle singing, intuitive dancing, conscious work with anger and discovering authentic sexuality.
He considers his strengths to be a good connection with both the material and spiritual worlds; the ability to build long-term relationships based on mutual trust and sensitivity; the courage to enter new experiences and contact with the wisdom of the body.
He brings his experience of working with energy through breath, movement and voice, as well as the practice of conscious touch, to the SENTI workshop.

Why does he co-create the Senti workshop?
When I dance SENTI, my head calms down and I immerse myself in the richness of the world of feeling. My female body feels that it is led by a man and…. wilderness. I work with women and I know how difficult this quality is for women these days. We are active, independent, knowing what we want and how to get it. We have the power. But there are times when we want to feel this power in the person who guides us, then our body can trust completely and let go of all the tension, melting into the pleasure.

Join us to discover a new dimension of dance, where music, body and emotions create an unforgettable combination. SENTI is more than dance, it is a sensual journey into yourself and the other person ✨

See you 🧡
