WaterDance 2 with Louisiane & Roberto
January 19, 2026 - January 24, 2026
A 6-day course, mainly under water.
WaterDance (also known as WATA or WasserTanzen) is a dynamic, mind- and playful movement therapy. It was developed by Peter Schröter and Arjana C. Brunschwiler in the late 80s.
In WaterDance 2, we expand our repertoire with new movements and sequences, transitioning from the short form (WATA 1) to a more advanced, flowing expression of the practice.
Students will learn how to link movements seamlessly, allowing WaterDance to evolve into a true underwater dance.
By the end of this course, participants will be equipped to offer complete sessions with full confidence and safety, and to initiate deep, joyful, and healing experiences for their receivers.
Prerequisites: WaterDance 1 and WaterDance 1 Supervision.
Credits: WaterDance 2 is recognized by WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association) and gives 50 hours of credit for registration with WABA and Watsu India.
Louisiane Desbrosses
Trained by Arjana Brunschwiler, co-founder of WATA.
I consider myself fortunate to have learned and taught alongside Arjana for several years. Her presence, wisdom, and depth have been a constant source of inspiration on my path.
“I am completely underwater. The tips of my hair brush the nearby surface. I feel them dancing freely. My arms spread lightly, my hands untie, and enter into a dialogue with the fluid. (…) Balance is restored. The body (…) regains its aquatic reflexes.”
— Guillaume Néry, Nature Aquatique
These words by French freediver Guillaume Néry beautifully capture the sensation I experienced during my first encounter with WATA and Watsu®.
From those very first moments in the water, something profound took root—an inner seed awakened and began to grow.
I immersed myself fully into the aquatic world. Trusting my intuition, I transitioned gently from architecture to shiatsu, drawn ever closer to the fluid realm of water.
Since then, I’ve been journeying through the elements of Earth and Water. To me, they are inseparable—each one teaching, balancing, and deepening the other. Like Yin and Yang, they are two sides of the same mountain.
