An orientation to the full Dance Alive movement map — the five forms that make up a complete wave. Mariane walks you through each phase in sequence: Drop In (the empty space, the ocean floor), Flow Easy (the first ripple, fluid and initiating), Reach Out (the wave building, tissues lengthening and expanding), Power Up (the crest, muscular and consolidating), and Gotta Move (the splash, responding and exploring new territory). She explains why all five forms are always present simultaneously, and why gaps in your movement life — places where you feel stuck or unable to change — can usually be traced to a missing phase.
The session also introduces the four team values (be open, explore, commit, be resilient) and the five core tools (be aware, feel, breathe, move, relate), giving you a practical framework to carry into every practice that follows.
