“PELVIC DANCE arises from the investigation of pelvic movements through dance and body awareness practices. In this workshop we will work on the mobility of the pelvis and the activation of energy flows that are directly linked to creativity and sexuality.
The pelvic area was our first home, and the origin of life. Dancing with the hips is, in many cultures, a ritual to celebrate fertility, as well as the cycles of life. Unfortunately, in patriarchal society, this area of the body is seen as a taboo, and little is taught about self-care with our health and sexuality in general.
Through somatic practices, music and DANCE of different styles, we activate the awareness of our body as a house that houses our stories, emotions and patterns. Through dance we access pleasure and joy in movement, and let the vital energy flow through the body, from the inside out.
Anyone can participate in the classes, regardless of gender, age or previous experience with movement practices.”

Luiza Cascon is a dance artist, massage therapist, doula and DJ. She was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro and has lived in Lisbon since 2017. She studied Fine Arts, Dance and Ayurvedic Massage, and recently completed her training as a Doula.
She created the PELVIC DANCE project in 2020, where she teaches dance classes that work on awareness and mobility of the pelvis and the energetic activation of our creative and sexual center, considering the therapeutic and ritual aspects of dance. This research started two years earlier while she was collaborating on the RABA POWER project in partnership with Flora Mariah.
Its influences are contemporary dance, somatic practices, meditation, yoga, kung fu, twerk, funk, vogue, among others.
She is currently a dancer and creator in the musical shows PLANO V in partnership with singer Joanadágua and VJ Astronauta Mecanico. This project was in residence during the last month of March at Casa Independente (Lisbon), where, in addition to performing their copyright shows, they signed the curatorship and program of the month, composed of queer artists, Afro-descendant women and immigrants.
She collaborates with the carnival group Colombina Clandestina, giving dance classes that aim to prepare the corps de ballet for the carnival parade and other processions in celebration or demonstration events in the streets of Lisbon.
