Manuela Blanchard

Dancer, WaterDance® teacher, Watsu® and Esalen Massage® practitioner, I have been teaching Contact Improvisation and New Dance in Switzerland and in international festivals since 2004. I love to accompany groups to dance in warm water or wild surroundings like in forest, sea, rivers or in the desert.

Fascinated by fluidity, whether in human relationships or in body language, I like to combine improvised dance with a search for a connection to one’s deepest nature. My teaching supports everyone in their own discovery of vitality, authenticity, openness and presence.

Therefore I created "Aquatic Bodywaves" (2017), involving dance improvisation as a way to learn aquatic bodywork more playfully. My new dance trainings, "Dance Yourself Deep" and "Sensual Playground", link intimately emotional process and tantric tools to my work.
 
My enthusiasm for organic and expressive qualities of movement led me to explore Butoh, Authentic Movement, Body Mind Centering and Tango among many other artistic fields.
 Trainings and experiences, some key points :
