The Changing Room

This Contact Beyond Contact workshop with Anita was about letting go and unexpectedly this was intensely difficult for me. It showed me that there was much more I still needed to let go of than I expected. At the same time, Anita creates a warm, safe and playful space where both joy and deeper layers can arise naturally. The workshop invited me to stay present with what was difficult, instead of avoiding it. Not always easy, but valuable for exactly that reason ✨

Anita = Awesome! Her classes made me not only feel more confident in dancing with others, but also with myself. Thanks!

Fijn gedanst, mooie werkvormen die inzicht gaven en hele fijne begeleiding door Anita. Ook hadden we als groep echt plezier, en dat was superverbindend.

I came to the workshop to learn a new breathing technique, with the intention to release stress. The result was highly positive, beyond my expectations. The technique explained by Anita has a strong impact on the nervous system. Anita provided a safe and helpful guidance and support through the whole session.
Other participants came for others reasons, and also reported a positive experience at the end of the session.

Na korte kennismakingsronde begon een reeks van mooi opgebouwde ' dansopdrachten'. Eerst op jezelf , dan met wisselende partners en eindigde in levendige dans met de hele groep. Goede begeleiding en heel ontspannen sfeer!

Great workshop once again

Lovely and safe atmosphere, very clear guiding, great session and host.

Was a brilliant evening of dancing and connection, in a safe and comforting room. Thank you 🙏

Mijn eerste CBC workshop. Vooral de laatste dans die avond met heel de groep vond ik erg leuk en speels! Anita is rustig in haar uitleg en lijkt me een warm persoon. Ik vond het een veilige plek waar iedereen ongeacht zijn of haar ervaring met (CBC) dans zichzelf kon zijn. Bedankt voor de fijne avond en veel succes Anita!

Something shifted for me in this session. I came in carrying some resistance, and by the end of it that resistance had transformed into something that felt like playfulness. I did not expect that.

The other thing that stayed with me: I received several "no" responses during one of the exercises. Nobody died. Not them, not me. That sounds simple but for me it was not. It was one of those quiet revelations that you carry home with you.

And then there was the "no" exercise itself. Discovering where my yes ends and my no begins, in my body, in real time, with another person. That is not something you can learn from a book.

From the moment I entered the space, the workshop already felt like stepping into a softer reality. There was a warm, gentle atmosphere in the room, a sense of safety and freedom at the same time. Like the outside world was still somewhere nearby, but here there was permission to slow down, breathe, feel and simply be.

This Contact Beyond Contact workshop became a much deeper experience than I expected. It was not just about dance or movement, but about meeting yourself and others through the body. About noticing where you open, where you protect yourself, where you say yes, where you say no, and how connection can become more honest when there is no need to perform.

The exercises were guided with a lot of care. We explored breath, movement, touch, boundaries, control and letting go in a way that felt both gentle and powerful. What touched me most was the balance between safety and freedom. There was space to say yes, space to say no, space to play, space to pause, and space to simply feel what was happening in the body without needing to explain it perfectly.

Anita has a very warm and trustworthy presence. She holds the group with softness, clarity and quiet strength. Because of that, I felt able to let go more than I expected and experience connection in a very honest and embodied way.

A unique, humbling and heart-opening experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to explore movement, connection, boundaries and authenticity in a safe and supportive space.

Very enjoyable and well facilitated

Wonderful experience, the workshop is wel gradualy build up. So we get trusted with what we are doing. Also warming up excercises is done, this is normal when we do introduction of a movement workshop. Well done Anita ! ❤️ 🔱

By now I have attended several CBC workshops and each time I discover something new about myself, not through thinking but through moving.

This session I noticed that full surrender can feel terrifying and joyful at the same time. That leading does not have to be forced. That friction can teach you as much as flow. And that what happens on the dance floor is often a surprisingly honest mirror of how you show up in life.

If you are on the fence, go. Not because it is comfortable, but because the discomfort is exactly where the learning is.

I really loved this session. Anita creates the right space to learn, experiment and connect.
