The freedomDANCE school includes approximately '''25 core teachers and trainees''' and offers regular classes, workshops, and trainings in multiple countries, including '''Austria, Belarus, Greece, Russia, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom''', as well as in online formats.
freedomDANCE is organised around a repeating movement arc known as the '''freedomDANCE Cycle''' — '''Opening → Transformation → Freedom'''. This structure provides a consistent container for improvisation, while avoiding fixed choreography or prescribed steps.

== 使命 ==
== Mission ==
freedomDANCE 的使命是：
The mission of freedomDANCE is:
* To make the practice of dance meditation and conscious movement widely accessible, opening opportunities for personal growth and realisation of human potential.
* To accumulate and refine international best practices in teaching conscious movement, serving as a centre for professional training, development, and mutual support of teachers.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* 让舞蹈冥想和正念运动的练习惠及大众，为个人成长和实现人类潜能创造机会。
== Values ==
freedomDANCE articulates the following core values:
* '''Commitment to quality''' — in professional training standards, ethics, and collaborative processes, aligned with international best practices.
* '''Respect for individuality''' — honouring the unique contribution of each dancer and teacher, and acknowledging both lineage and future generations.
* '''Partnership and shared responsibility''' — the school is collectively owned and managed; teachers do not work under hierarchical authority structures, nor do they place others under them.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* 积累并完善国际上教授正念运动的最佳实践，成为教师专业培训、发展和互助的中心。
== Practice ==
freedomDANCE is designed as an accessible entry point into embodied awareness and movement-based meditation.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
== 价值观 ==
Each session follows a '''freedomDANCE Cycle''':
freedomDANCE 秉持以下核心价值观：
* '''Opening''' — warming up, sensing the body, and gradually building intensity.
* '''Transformation''' — sustained activation, exploration of intensity, and change.
* '''Freedom''' — settling, integration, and returning to a calmer, more spacious state.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* “致力于卓越品质”——在专业培训标准、职业道德和协作流程方面，与国际最佳实践接轨。
While the structure supports the journey, there is '''no choreography''' and '''no set steps''' to learn. Movement is spontaneous, guided by sensation, attention, imagery, music, and relational awareness.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* “尊重个性”——尊重每位舞者和教师的独特贡献，并认可传承与未来。
The practice emphasises movement as a direct pathway beyond habitual thinking. Physical activation is understood as a means to quiet mental activity, access embodied intelligence, and cultivate presence.
Sessions are generally '''open to all''', regardless of age, body type, or prior experience in dance or meditation. Longer workshops and advanced formats may require prerequisites, which are specified in individual event descriptions.

== Curriculum ==
freedomDANCE 旨在为体验具身意识和基于动作的冥想提供一个易于入门的途径。
The freedomDANCE curriculum is organised into '''three progressive levels''', each containing several thematic categories.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
每次疗程都遵循一个“freedomDANCE循环”：
=== Level 1 ===
Level 1 establishes the physical and structural foundation of the practice. Participants learn the freedomDANCE Cycle and ways to refine and detail it.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* “开启”——热身、感知身体、逐渐增强强度。
Core components include:
* '''freedomDANCE Cycle'''
* '''Body Map'''
* '''Polarities Map'''
* '''Elements Map'''
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* “转化”——持续激活、探索强度、体验变化。
=== Level 2 ===
Level 2 extends the practice into longer formats such as ongoing groups and workshops. These events remain open to the public but typically require deeper engagement and continuity.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* “放松”——平静、整合、回归更平静、更开阔的状态。
Key themes include:
* '''Unity''' — exploring levels of relationship through movement.
* '''Life Lessons from the Dance Floor''' — integrating insights from practice into everyday life.
* '''Synthesis''' — combining freedomDANCE with other disciplines, practices, and personal interests.
Level 3 works with more sensitive themes and requires a higher level of trust within the group. Workshops are typically longer (three days or more) and have prerequisites.
Participation in '''Here I Am''' workshops and completion of specific Level 1 curriculum elements are prerequisites for entry into '''Start Level Teacher Training'''.
