THE PRACTICE OF PRIMAL DANCE

What does a Primal Dance session look like?

There are two basic session formats.

The first one is the one we use with big groups, in congresses or introductory classes. And it is the same one we use in our daily practice at home. It is a standard version on CDs with Primal Dance sets that either we provide, or which each person can design.
This session starts with an initial meditation in which a mystical music invites us to go deep into ourselves and to observe our here and now.
Then we stand up and hyperventilate during one minute to activate our energy.
Later on, the music guides us through a journey touching each energy center or chakra. These are awakened through the different primal postures, movements, images and sounds following the seven basic principles, which will be described later on.
Through this, we awaken what we have called the “seven basic capacities of fully alive people”, which are psychological versions of the functions traditionally associated to the seven chakras or energy centers.

The other format is the one we follow in our regular courses.
 
It is not something standard, but a deeper immersion into the experience of each chakra in all of its dimensions, physical, mental and spiritual.
In these sessions many exercises are performed both individually, in pairs and in groups. These are adjusted to the time and needs of each group.
The Primal Dance sessions are characterized by its experiential, emotional and affective intensity, as well as by the profound experiential character with which we access the transcendental. On the other hand, the reading material especially selected and taught provides a framework for integrating the experiences.
