The Online Immersion
In 7 online encounters, we will move from awakening body awareness → deepening sensory presence → enlivening internal space → embodying relational contact → integrating it all into dance.
Each class is a gentle ritual of arriving in the body through Eutonia, a somatic practice that cultivates tone, perception, and presence. Through guided exploration, you will stretch, touch, breathe, rest, observe, and rediscover
how movement begins far before the gesture itself.
The Layers
We created a spiral journey inward and outward, sensing the self, and then expanding into space and relation. 7 weeks of somatic descent into the practice of sensing, listening, and inhabiting the body as a living landscape. We
will not be “learning technique,” but rather undoing habitual tensions, refining attention, and awakening the felt-sense of skin, bones, and internal space. So you can weave all layers into your unique and alive dance.
Awakening the Living Body
Discover your internal map through stretch, touch, and body inventory
The Skin as a Portal
Refine perception through the boundary of your body and its meeting with the world.
Reclaiming Bone Memory
Sense your internal architecture and its weight, direction, and support.
Spine as Axis of Expression
Explore the spinal column as the center of articulation and energetic flow.
Volume and Interior Space
Expand inner awareness to experience volume, containment, and resonance.
The Alchemy of Contact
Explore presence through relational touch, pressure, and listening (with objects and others).
What Will You Learn
You will
“re-member”
You will not “learn” in the traditional sense, but rather re-member:
✦ How to sense your body as a living, responsive field
✦ Ways to awaken perception through skin, bone, and internal volume
✦ The connection between tone, sensation, and authentic movement
✦ Tools for nervous system regulation through touch and attention
✦ Practices to integrate somatic awareness into your dance
✦ Foundational tools for dancers, movers, and facilitators
This is for you if:
- You are a dancer, mover, or body-based artist craving deeper connection with your body.
- You long for a practice that is slow, intuitive, and sensory-based.
- You want to move from authenticity rather than performance.
- You are curious about somatic practices as a path of presence and transformation.
- You are ready to soften control and listen inward.
- You are open to stillness, silence, and sensing as potent gateways to movement.
This is NOT for you, if:
- You are seeking choreography, performance feedback, or dance technique training.
- You prefer fast-paced, high-intensity movement classes.
- You are uncomfortable with stillness, slowness, or internal processes.
- You are not available to explore your body in a gentle and non-judgmental way.

Meet
Anderson Mendes
Anderson Mendes is a Brazilian Zouk dancer and movement researcher with a deep passion for the connection between body, movement, and awareness. Anderson’s lifelong journey in dance spans 30 years, encompassing both social and performance-based styles, including competitive and stage dance. A decade ago, he began deconstructing the structured techniques he had been taught, deepening his understanding of movement through holistic therapies, including Eutonia and somatic education. Through this process, Anderson and his dance have been gifted with a new way of experiencing movement—one that emerges from a profound meeting between oneself and the world of sensation and feeling. He integrates Eutonia principles into dance to create a more intuitive, present, and expressive movement experience.
