Something "official" about me

In 2001 I met the Meditative Dances with Joyce DiJkstra, graduating in 2005 with a three-year training

Later, fascinated and deeply attracted by the world of dance, I followed the training of the Bach Flower Dances, discovering the world of floral and vibrational remedies of Dr. E. Bach
In 2016 I completed the International Training with Nanni Kloke through Harmonie -Methode® (Institut Meditation in Bewegung)
I currently work as a contact person for Italy, organizer, certified teacher in International Training
In 2019, I published a book outlining the benefits of mindful dance:

In the course of deepening the dance, I have joined for several years the training and in-depth proposals with various methodologies of international and national teachers who are still in progress.

I am often asked: "What is Aware Dance?"

It is not easy to answer with a few words!

Like any art that explores our interiority, there is a need to experience, personally experience the experience.

To get started, take 3 minutes and watch this video:

Talk about Mindful Dance and Mindfulness

BUT I START WITH A FEW LINES OF WORDS

Danza Consapevole © was born on 1st September 2014, conceived by Marisa Storgato as the result of the alchemy between the seeds of Meditative Dances and Sacred Dances in a Circle.


Over the years, the lands in which the dancing roots of different crops have been sown: the climate, the light, the shadows, the ingredients used to fertilize them, have combined to bear fruit in the soul and then in the body, giving life to new movements. The subsequent prunings have rearranged and given shape to new branches, leaves, flowers and fruits, giving them a new appearance. Precisely because born from underground seeds, the Aware Dance © is rooted in the here and now, present to itself when the body moves consciously, integrating music, rhythm, gestures, steps, breath, smile, beauty and synergy with oneself and with the dancing circle.

The Aware Dance © being both a structured, free and creative movement, it flows, descends, slips, penetrates and flows towards the other and the entire universe. While dancing we are aware of existing between earth and sky, of moving with respect, in our inner and outer space. It is a path that always leads back to the center of oneself.

Dance is ...

DANCE is movement that amplifies our being
DANCE is a possibility of contact and expression
DANCE is narrating oneself through a body that remembers emotions, images, sounds.
AWARE: being in a deep knowledge harmonized in ONE with the rest of the person.
... is the ability to be present in what we are doing WHILE we are doing it.

We experience an interior and exterior SPACE that are intertwined between a rhythm and a gesture.
Our space meets the space of the other: a new dance is born.
We become an INHABITED, respected, met, excited BODY!
Let's move from I KNOW to I AM.
is to go through the body to listen to EMOTIONS.

Dances built on circularity that bring movement back to itself
Dance that immerses you in your movements and creates new ones.
Flow with the other, with the awareness that you are not alone in the journey of life.
Admire the CREATED and with gratitude, dance!
Rediscover the beauty of BEING between earth and sky; and find themselves capable of arching into life

A movement that starts from within you and reaches outside of you joins the Universe and expands with joy!
It is rolling out what the body holds in you and letting it flow.
It is joining together to support, to pay attention to the stillness of the here and now to dance every season of life in the beauty of being welcomed as you are by choosing to listen to an inner movement that intertwines other listenings and other lives
A path of encounter with yourself, together with others without losing the CENTER, your center that gives rise to the movement

"Dance inside and outside your homes; if you have nowhere to stay, ask the other for hospitality while you are looking for your space; when you dance, look at the direction of your steps and deeds with open eyes; allow the movement of emotions from within outside ... "
From "DANCE MEETS AWARENESS"
