The B1 course is taught over one term in 2 formats: either as 10 one-hour weekly sessions or intensively over 5 sessions comprising two hours of instruction with a 30-minute pause for rest and optional relaxation exercises in between. We have two B1 courses on offer this term, on Tuesdays and a Sunday Intensive starting mid-term. Tuesdays 6 May to 8 July 6.30 to 7.30 pm St Anne's Community Hall 55 Dean Street, W1 (Tube: Leicester Sq & Piccadilly Circus) Sundays 1 June to 29 June 5.00 to 7.30 pm (incl 30-min break) Marylebone Dance Studio 12 Lisson Grove, NW1 (Tube: Marylebone & Baker St) B2 second 1/3 of form 10
week course B3 third 1/3 of form 10
week course Roots
& Branches©: Generating Chi These sessions lead you through a form of qi gong which condenses T'ai Chi into standing positions, walks and shifting movements. By integrating principle, breath and focus in the Tantien with awareness of the Five Elements, Roots & Branches unblocks, generates and circulates chi (vital energy), allowing it to nourish you at the very deepest level. The work deepens on repetition and is valuable for students of all experience, including complete beginners. You are welcome to sign up for the full course of ten sessions (£90) or come on a drop-in basis (£12 per lesson). Wednesdays 30 April to 2 July 6.45 to 7.45 pm Marylebone Dance Studio 12 Lisson Grove NW1 (Tube: Marylebone & Baker St)
Fundamentals (second half of course) After B3, you're ready to review the entire form with special attention to refining and embodying principles. Includes some work with partners to increase awareness and make it fun. Each lesson will last 1¼ hours and is priced accordingly. Tuesdays 6 May to 8 July 7.45 to 9.00 pm St Anne's Community Hall 55 Dean Street, W1 (Tube: Leicester Sq & Piccadilly Circus) Intermediate Form (second half of course) Following on from concepts introduced in Push Hands 1, a new internal focus changes the form, taking your practice to a deeper level. Always worth repeating! Wednesdays 30 April to 2 July 8.00 to 9.00 pm Marylebone Dance Studio 12 Lisson Grove, NW1 (Tube: Marylebone & Baker St) Course Fees
