Dancing through pregnancy
Dancing is a joyous form of working out, which has proven benefits like providing flexibility, relieving stress, and adding to the overall health. With the help of music and movement, this class will have a sensorial and somatic approach. The aim is to support the development of the child’s primary movement and the woman’s balance (body & soul) during pregnancy.
The class will contain relaxation exercises, many improvisational dance tasks and many joyful group and partner moments, experiencing the strength of togetherness. And above all this class will promote the integrity of mothers during this extremely emotional and transforming time.
When: Tuesdays, starting February 7th until February 28th. The class meets once a week for four weeks!
Time: 17:45 - 18:45
Cost: 14.900 ISK
Where: Fæðingarheimili Reykjavíkur

About Alejandra
My background is in music and theatre and I am also a trained teacher in music and movement education. As a teacher and researcher, I have specialised in Voice & Movement with a somatic approach seeking the balance in the body and aiming for the integrity of human expression.
In 2017 I created the Sila II Act, a company that provides creative workshops and artistic research. Throughout the Sila II Act I not only have developed my own educational method that spreads into a wide audience from amateurs to professionals but have also led workshops in diverse countries such as, Austria, Greenland, USA, Iceland and Sweden. From 2017 – 2019 I worked as a teacher of Music and Movement Rhythmical Educational at The Iceland Academy of the Arts. My tasks included finalising curriculum for BA students.
With my artistic career I have created, produced and performed my own productions in independent theatres and stages such as Lalish TheaterLabor, AlteSchmiede, Interkulturelles Theater and MuThtheater in Wien, Austria; Tjarnarbío, Gamlabíó, Gallery Kjarvalsstaðir, Icelandic Academy of the Arts in Reykjavík, Iceland.
After becoming a mother I have returned to amateur education, teaching dance and voice. In the last year I have also taking a position at the kindergarten teaching Music & Movement (Eurhythmics) to young children ages 11/5 - 5 years old.
