Waterdance (or “Wassertanzen”, the original German name) is a form of aquatic bodywork developed by Arjana Brunschwiler and Aman Schroter in 1987. Like Watsu, it begins with the client being cradled, stretched, and relaxed above the water surface. In Waterdance, the client is then given nose clips and gradually and gently taken entirely under the water. Once freed from the bounds of head support and gravity, the client’s body can be moved, stretched, and worked in literally unlimited ways. Waterdance incorporates elements of massage, Aikido, dolphin and snake movements, rolls, somersaults, inversions, dance, and much more. Waterdance takes the journey of unwinding and deep surrender below the surface of the water into an unrestricted three-dimensional realm.  The effects of this work include physical release and can induce deep states of relaxation, meditation, bliss, and even visions.
