Archetypal ALKEMY - 7 Week Dance & Filming Series

Do you desire to explore movement, choreograph & sisterhood in a container centred in play & passion?

Do you want to work towards a performance piece in an empowering & supportive setting and have a beautiful video of it?

Get ready for a sexy, fun & dynamic dance series that explores Feminine Archetypes, different dance styles and sexy sisterhood!

Over 7 weeks you will learn 7 different dance routines, from dancehall, to sensual floorwork, to sexy heels, to emotive contemporary dance and more. These different routines will allow you to explore and access different expressions of what it is to be a Woman.

Each week we will spend 45min on a short routine based on the Archetype we’re exploring (e.g., Wild Woman, Lover, Huntress etc.) and the second hour will be dedicated to learning the QUEEN routine which will be filmed in the final week of the series.

The professional recording of the performance will be a gift to yourself and remembrance of your journey. This will be filmed by the incredible and talented Bree Billington and sent in formats compatible for Instagram and YouTube.

What is the Archetypal ALKEMY Framework?

Archetypal ALKEMY is a framework created by Dr. Jae West and provides a framework of exploring and understanding the multitude of feminine expressions that live within each woman. It uses a multi-levelled approach that acknowledges the importance of the mind, body, emotions and spirit in the patterns that we live out and how we show up in the world.

Body - we look at different dance styles, movement patterns and how to hardness these to bring out different feminine expressions

Mind - we look at the psychology, motivation and intellectual framework to allow the mind to grasp and understand that patterns that it lives out, including it's gifts, it's cycles, it's triggers & it's safety mechanisms

Spirit - understanding the chakra system and how that links into the subtle energetics of which feminine archetypes we gravitate to and what we get triggered/afraid of

Emotions - we use archetypes or characters as a way of accessing different emotional embodiments that allow us to learn, grow and thrive

THE FEMININE ARCHETYPES

Wild Woman – Fierceness – Base Chakra

Lover – Sensuality – Sacral Chakra

Huntress – Power – Solar Plexus

Mother – Flow – Heart Chakra

Inner Child – Play – Throat Chakra

Priestess – Devotion – Third Eye

Queen - Confident Grace – Crown Chakra

Each of the weeks has a feeling and dance style that it draws from to allow you to navigate and explore each archetype and different movement patterns.'
