Tips to get the most out of it
Small Shifts, Big Difference
This is an "intensive" for real reasons — it takes stamina, sustained focus, and the ability to integrate movement in the moment. Preparing with the videos and articles beforehand makes a real difference in how ready you'll feel.
This isn't a passive experience — no sitting back and watching a demonstration. You're expected to stay present, connected, and in real dialogue with your teacher throughout.
Don't expect a string of corrections like a private lesson. Teachers are there to dance and explore with you, not to correct you constantly — that's what makes the learning actually stick.
Know your own motivation for being here. It's the fuel behind your attention and your progress, so don't underestimate what you personally want out of this intensive.
Fill out the questionnaires we send beforehand — they help us shape the intensive around what you bring, not just what we've already planned.
Value your own questions, especially the ones that surface once you start moving rather than right at the beginning. Jot them down so you can bring them back to a teacher, or to Tomás.
Notice your "aha" moments and write them down — those small realizations are worth holding onto and coming back to later in your learning.
Look for little pockets of practice during the intensive itself, and take notes along the way. Practicing consciously is what makes what you learn truly stay with you.
