Healing Dance ® I

→

Matador Start Stand opposite the receiver and

support beneath her palms or wrists. The water

depth should be comfortable for her.

Invite the reciver to go inside and to squeeze

your hands when she is ready to be floated.

Open her left arm (your right arm) to the side.

→

Step into the space created. Without contact,

hook your left leg behind partner’s left calf, like

a judo trip. Continue to support both hands.

Reach under the arm to traction the back of the

head with the “Horns of the Bull” grip. Nestle

your shoulder reassuringly into her side.

→

Re-grasp above the wrist with an overgrip. This

will give you more control in the coming Mata-

dor. Take your time, step by step. A good begin-

ning is a slow one without surprises or shocks.

Pull gently on partner’s arm and guide her head

into the water. Use your thigh to lift the hips if

necessary. Support under the spine with your

forearm. Do the “Yo” movement to keep the

chin down.

→

Walk a slow half circle keeping the legs near the

surface. Pull the head toward you and thread

quietly into 1st, your forearm under the sacrum.

1 WAVES Trance Waves Do The Cross. Lead

with head traction “around the curve” while

stepping 90º to the side on the head foot.

→

In a stable Warrior, send the hips out away from

you with your pelvis arm to stretch the far side

of the trunk. Partner’s body stays supine, no tilt.

Transfer your weight onto your foot foot and

slide your head foot back under you. This pulls

partner toward you and stretches her near side.

→

Repeat four times, stepping away from and back

to the midpoint of a cross. As needed, vary the

head traction from palm on the shoulder, the

Hand Mirror (shown here) to palm down in the

water.

Finding your balance in Warrior Stance, send the

hips out. Partner’s body is in suspension, her

legs completing the movement.

HDI

→

Fall with your weight straight back. Stretch the

near side equally as much as the far side. Create

a rhythmic field with this sideways wave.

Repeat another cross grasping the waist, palm

toward or away, depending. The spine is being

sequentially articulated and stretched.

→

The third and final cross from around the rib

cage offers the most freedom of the three grips.

Take care the lower back does not hyperextend.

Carmen Miranda In Horse move your hips in an

eight, partner’s side to your chest, then with a

space. Next balance the ball and play with the hips.

→

Hip Waves (Geisha) Palm the far shoulder and

the near hip, thumbs up. Roll partner 45º onto

her side. Sit back low in the water, her cheek on

your upper arm. Lift the hip up and away on the

inbreath to traction the neck.

Travel backwards in a circle with Geisha Waltz.

Let partner’s legs and hips sink. Her head (and

you) stay at the same level; water away from the

corner of the mouth. Circle with partner’s back

facing out.

HDI

→

Hip Waves (Godzilla) The FSNH grip gives you an

excellent leverage for a sideways wave. Lead with

elbow traction in the round phase. Body at 45º.

In the arch phase lean back and lengthen the near

hip away from you to safeguard the back. Step

out, then round, step straight back, then arch.

→

Freeing the Arm Geisha backwards. Use the

back of your foot hand to “shoehorn” the near

arm to in front of you. Partner rolls face-up.

Pull the upper arm to slide the head onto your

upper arm. Head hand goes to heart or shoulder, a

90º angle between your forearm and upper arm.

→

Heart Wave Supine Make a heart sandwich in

the Best in Show position. Godzilla backwards.

Step outside and lead with elbow traction. Stay

low in the water to keep her ears in the water.

Step to the inside and guide the sandwich across

to create the wave to the middle of the circle.

Keep partner at a distance. Your head hand may

be on the shoulder or over partner’s hand on the

heart.

HDI

→

Heart Wave Away Stand up, continue Godzilla

steps, roll partner 45º away, lift your elbow to

have the crown higher than chin. Rounding...

Here the arch phase is shown. Use the “courtesy

thumb” or receiver’s own hand on the female

chest. Follow the breath; arch phase on the inhale.

→

Hara Hug Guide partner’s back to your chest.

Reach under the arm to the navel. Lengthen your

head elbow sideways, C-curving, palm down.

Head Hug In Horse Stance, turn the cheek to

your side, massage the neck, countertraction

between head and sacrum, and rock sideways.

→

Head Wave Using the Bowl Grip, travel back-

wards with the 123 sideways weaving Geisha

Waltz. Lead it from the top of the head, crown

slightly lifted.

2 SEAWEED Hara Hold In a deep Horse

Stance guide the head to your left shoulder. One

hand rests on the hara; the other tractions the

sacrum. Rock in a small 8.
