A shared journey into the art of Hair Suspension
An opportunity to enrich and exchange knowledge about this practice and above all to dance and fly together in a natural environment on the fascinating Oaxacan coast.
This journey invites you to connect with yourself, with nature and with all the participants in this celebration.
We will dive through the inner universe of this practice, observing the deepest sensations as well as freeing our natural movement flow to express ourselves and explore a diversity of possibilities that this amazing practice can offer to us not just on a physical level but as a creative ritual of transformation.
We want to allow new stimuli to emerge for the movement and expression of this wonderful practice.

• Review the hairdo technique for floating.
