Ball Jam with Marceau
Presented by Qi Dance Company


We invite you to a reinvented ball that goes back to the traditional dances in groups and in couples, adapted for 21st Century's dancers who are used to rocking the dance floor with a more personal style.With a broad experience ranging from traditional European Dances, Contemporary Dance, and Qigong practice, Marceau will accompany us through this journey of discovery.

We will explore the movement of our body and our qi, the interaction with other people and with the whole group. Based on the Qidance method, this Ball Jam is an opportunity to dive deep into the flow of qi, the energy that moves within us and around us, gaining awareness of the subtle movement within us and the dynamics of the group.

Suited to anyone who loves dancing.  Bring comfortable clothes and socks.
Date & time: October 25th, 7-9:00pm (Every 4th Friday of the month)
Contribution: 150 RMB
Student price:  75 RMB

”The Suited Monk - Finding Your Life’s Purpose And True Happiness"

In today's society, many of us struggle to experience lasting happiness and contentment and find little purpose or fulfilment in our work and day-to-day lives. Even if we manage to reach certain goals, the happiness they bring us rarely lasts long. Because of this dynamic, some of us suffer deeply and experience a huge gap between the life we really want, with a deep feeling of joy about who we truly are, and the reality of the life we actually have. 

Raf Adams, author of "The Suited Monk" (available on amazon.com), will guide us with a step-by-step approach to help us explore pertinent self-questioning paradigms, such as "What is my purpose in life?" and "How can I live a truly fulfilling life and have a happy and satisfying career?" Or more simply, ''How can I fully align my deepest desires and wishes, and flourish in today's world?" He will be using the life journey model to help us through this journey.

Friday, November 15th, 7.00-8:30pm
Cost:  50 RMB
