Beyond Body Language & Tango With Horses: Andrea Datz Workshops, Oct. 6 & 7, 2018

August 30, 2018 By Sarah Barnes

Here’s how Andrea describes what we’ll be exploring:

Beyond Body Language: Focused on expanding our awareness, how to make good use of our senses to guide us in identifying and working with any issues our horses may have. Develop practical skills that develop your intuition, your capacity to touch and create movement that is therapeutic in nature.

Tango with Horses: Following the theme of the improvisational, social dance, Argentine Tango. These workshops focus on how we connect and move together. From ground work to the saddle, learn how to communicate effectively through how you move and carry yourself. This is the heart of compassionate horsemanship – we learn to adapt and respond fluidly to the horse’s responses to our suggestions.
