🔶 As a dancer, Over the last 20+ years and after I finished sports performance, I have sought to go through a wide variety of techniques, methods and lifestyle approaches in movement and dance: 5 Rhythms, Biodanza, Authentic Movement, Ecstatic Dance, EYFS Inspirational Dance and Movement (Early Years Foundation Stage) UK, Segni Mossi (dance-drawing) Italy. I searched for the diversity that would train my mind and body towards visions and working practices suited to the beginner's brain, to the inhibition of the non-dreamer, to the client who seeks healing and restructuring of inner psychic reality in direct connection with the body conscious in movement.
I have taken classes, workshops and certifications in Scottish dance, ballet, Argentine tango, body theatre, west coast swing, lindy hop, acroyoga, capoeira.
🔷 As a psychologistSince 2013 I have followed trainings, currents and supervision that have included body, movement and experience in therapy:
ARPDM (Romanian Association of Psychotherapy through Dance and Movement) Creative Supervision, workshops and summer training camp, Imago Relationship Therapy in movement, Transformational Body Tracing, Early Education Workshops and Conferences organised by ISTT (Institute for the Study and Treatment of Trauma), ARPDM and First 7
In 2018 we started the project "Dancing with Alina Vișan", now in its 7th season, and "Form & Stare in Movement" is the signature course, the essence of 10+ years of experience.
At the end of 2024 we opened the studio BodyMind, a space dedicated to movement therapies and training focused on mind-body alliance and health.
I look forward to seeing you in dance and movement,
Alina
I believe in working with the values brought into everyday practice, in and out of the studio
I really enjoyed my stage as a performing athlete affiliated to the Romanian Federation of Dance Sport from 2003-2011.
Every year, from spring until late autumn, stories of a couple's experiences come into my room and I translate them into dance steps. The wedding dance in my vision is one that looks as natural as possible, captures the couple's personality and conveys the message of their movements to the audience.
Education can be sung, danced and organised through play, it can start from the concrete and practical and it can be interdisciplinary. I proposed DANS for early childhood education in 2009, at the beginning of my journey, in 2012 when I had already noticed some constructive directions to integrate into my practice, in 2016 when I met Helen with Music and Movement and in 2019 after the 3 days of the First7 Conference.
In 2010, I let a student turned good friend, Wanda Hyde, take me to a Scottish dance workshop. Without setting out to do so, I embarked on a literal and figurative journey into Scottish dance. Between 2011 and 2013, I spent a week each summer at the Summer School in St Andrews, Scotland, for practice and development. Since 2012 I have accepted to be part of the International Team and participate as a dancer in 2 competition demonstrations in the Newcastle Festival, Scotland in February 2013.
In 2013 I opened this new chapter: psychology through dance. For me dance was and still surprises me how much it is a method of personal development. And there is one more thing: the body never lies. The body does not know how to lie, it expresses exactly who we are. If we learn to decipher it, to listen to it, it can help us to get to know ourselves better and to evolve. Through dance, the body speaks, expresses itself, unburdens itself, experiences, grows.
The Dance as Form courses have their origins in a course held on demand in 2009 called Dancing Ladies, in which we trained the mind-body interrelationship and aimed at body awareness through choreographies of coordination, symmetry and orientation in space.
During the pandemic, I started a series of short online challenges, and these are the basis of the new Joc Dans course. Then came motherhood, from which I returned in 2023. In counterpol to taking on
risks as an entrepreneur, is the joy that professionally I am supported by my experience as a man, woman and mother. I bring from home plus the value of the years of motherhood and reciprocally, working in the dance studio nourishes and supports me for the roles at home.
