Expressive Movement and Dance Improvisation Workshop

Unlock your ability to move freely and connect deeply with music, your body, and others. These workshops are designed to help you express yourself through movement and achieve a flow state—a mental space where time disappears, self-consciousness melts away, and you’re fully immersed in the joy of dancing.

As both a dancer and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), I integrate tools from CBT to gently guide you in releasing self-doubt and unlocking your creative potential. This is a safe, playful, and non-judgmental space for you to explore movement—no matter your level of experience.

What You’ll Learn:

• Awareness: Tune into your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations.

• Authenticity: Discover and generate movements that feel true to you.

• Musicality: Build a stronger connection with music and develop your rhythm and style.

• Connection: Share energy and creativity with others through partnered and group exercises.

Workshop Highlights:

The final 15 - 30 minutes will feature a group improvisation —a chance to let loose, experiment, and fully embody the tools you’ve learned.

Who’s It For?

Everyone! Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or completely new to movement, the improvisational nature of the tasks means you can engage at your own pace and ability.

About Me

Hi, I’m Daniel Rodriguez, a registered Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and a dancer with the contemporary dance company HuMo. My journey into dance began later in life—at the age of 27. Over the past eight years, movement has completely transformed my life. It has helped me build self-confidence, better understand my emotions, and form deeper connections with others. Now, I’m dedicated to sharing the joy and power of dance with everyone, because I believe that movement is dance, and dance is for everyone.

I’ve explored a wide variety of movement styles, including freestyle dance, contemporary, Gaga, German Tanztheatre, Butoh, ballet, ecstatic dance, and dance psychotherapy. Through these experiences, I’ve come to realise that dance is not about perfection or technique—it’s about expressing yourself, connecting with your body, connecting with the music, and embracing your unique way of moving. By blending the most impactful aspects of these practices with tools from my psychological training, I create workshops that empower people to connect with themselves, the music, and others in meaningful ways.

Dance shouldn’t be exclusive or reserved for the privileged. Too often, the cost of classes makes dance inaccessible, and I want to change that. That’s why my workshops are donation-based—to ensure that everyone, regardless of background or financial situation, can experience the freedom, joy, and healing power of movement.

Let’s celebrate that movement is for everyone. I can’t wait to move with you!
