Restorative Dance
Decompress at the end of the week with a nurturing dance workshop, led by Carte Blanche dancers.
ENQUIRE
Overview
With back-to-back shows and strict schedules, professional dancers know a thing or two about managing stress in the mind and body. Let loose in this invigorating dance workshop based on Carte Blanche's recovery routines and then top it off with a trip to Norwegian-style saunas – there's no better way to end a busy week of intense art.
Highlights
Breathe
We start with guided meditation and breathing exercises to center the mind and body.
Move
We then move into the dancers' recovery routine – a combination of ballet, barre, and yoga.
Sweat
Next, we sweat it out at classic Norwegian-style saunas to aid muscle recovery.

FAQs
I've never taken a dance class before; is this workshop for me?
Yes! This workshop is for all levels. You do not need prior experience with dance or yoga to participate.
What should I wear?
You don't need to wear special dance clothing – any comfortable fitness clothing will do just fine! If you have long hair, we recommend wearing hair ties.
What should I bring?
We recommend bringing a spare change of clothing and soap for pre- and post-sauna showers. Clean towels are available but you're welcome to bring your own.
Are swimsuits allowed in saunas?
No, we do not permit swimsuits inside saunas to limit bacteria brought in by wet bathing suits. We provide clean towels to cover up.
