⚜️ MASTERCLASS WORKSHOPS
⚜️SUNDAY 7 JUNE 2025
★ 13:00-15:00
🌙 Elemental Fusion: Earth & Water (2/h)
🜃 Earth - Dance Foundations
With this grounding element we lay our foundations and dance building blocks by
practicing powerful anchors in the hips and chest and grow from there with elegant
and unusual arm formations inspired by the branches of trees. Learn grounding
techniques for anchoring deep within the consciousness of the great world tree and
embodying the spirit of sovereignty through empowered movement. A very technique
driven class for mastering the unique stylization of this dance form that Tiare has
lovingly built as her offering to the global dance community. Inspired by the suit of
Pentacles in the Tarot, Earth movements invoke stability, anchored articulations,
strength, and an essence of regality.
💧 Water - The Heart of the Dance
Elegance within the flow-state. The element of water governs our trajectory of
circulatory movement patterns, serpentine stylizations and energetic flow within the
Elemental Fusion Dance format. With a focus on softening around the edges, and
approaching the dance as an offering, this element holds the keys to refining the
unique stylization of this dance form. Inspired by the suit of Cups in the Tarot; the
Elemental Fusion Water motifs reflect the wisdom and majesty of water’s flowing
nature. Elemental Fusion Water movements invoke calculated flow. They are circular,
serpentine, seductive and transcendent.
★ 15:30-17:30
🔥🌬 Elemental Fusion: Fire & Air (2/h)
🔥 Fire - Fueling the Dance
Dancing with Fire involves practicing techniques that build heat and power in our
bodies for strong and invigorating movements like shimmies, precision in staccato
articulations, serpentine strikes, quickening with varying speeds, and clever
transitions for unlocking an experience of dance liberation and freedom. Awaken the
fire elemental within through mudra alchemy and project it outward with intentional
movement. This class is an action-packed adventure full of spirit and expression.
Inspired by the suit of Wands in the Tarot, the Elemental Fusion Fire movement motifs
are uplifting, playful, passionate, spicy, and empowering.
🌬 Air & Spirit - Synthesis & Ascension
Enter the mandala & realms of Air by practicing traveling techniques and
weightlessness combined with thoughtful articulations. Air breathes intellect into our
dance structuring while creating meaningful pathways for our movement. All of the
other elements find unity in the realm of Air, for it is here that they can communicate
with each other. Mercurial in nature, as we connect the elemental pathways within the
body, classes geared towards embodying this element involve a little bit of everything,
and give us wings to soar.
We will work with the Air Mudra for strengthening our clarity of mind to empower our
internal Elemental Alchemy, and our series of movement drills culminates with a
choreography for embodying this thoughtful element. It is through the Spirit of the
dance that we are able to tap true embodiment and awaken the avatar within.
Inspired by the suit of Swords in the Tarot; the Elemental Fusion Air motifs reflect
clarity, focus, precision, intelligence, weightlessness and candor and mastery of the
movement.

⚜️PERSEPHONE'S PROMISE⚜️
A dance offering brought to life in veneration of Persephone: Goddess of the underworld and returning of Spring.
Beloved queen of Hades ~ Persephone is a goddess of adaptation and transformation. She personifies the beauty to be found within one's underworld journey and the timely triumphant return of the spirit.
Connecting with the spirit of Persephone is a blessing bestowed upon all who walk this earth. To commune with nature in its most decadent blossoming extravagance, you will find her.
Together we will embody her epithets and correspondences as Triforis with an intentional ritual theatre portrayal reflecting her metamorphosis as she journeys from her great kingdom below
to unfurl her petals once again above ground when she is reunited with her divine mother Demeter.
It is a poetic interpretation of Persephone's many qualities, for she has inspired the romantic nature within humanity since time immemorial.
Together, we will embody her essence, and awaken our inner empress by blooming together in luxurious floral formations to weave her magic and re-enchant the world of our dreams.
Persephone's Promise includes Elemental Fusion signatures from each element (Earth, Fire, Water & Air) imbued with her spirit, offering a wellspring of characterization and powerful ceremonial approach fit for a goddess.
