Yes. You will be able to register for individual Immersions. We expect registration for the “immersions only” option to open winter 2027.
The Immersions are a deep dive into the Open Floor Curriculum and do not train you in how to facilitate the work. They correlate with the first 5 days of each teacher training Phase and those in the full training will also attend the Immersions.
Pre-requisites to enter Immersions 1–4 (non-teacher training students):
50 hours of instructed study in conscious dance practice*
At least 15 of those hours must be Open Floor Movement Practice
You can find in person and online offerings by Open Floor Teachers all over the world in the Open Floor calendar of events:
-
120 hours of instructed study in Conscious Dance*
At least 60 of those hours must be Open Floor Movement Practice
Your Open Floor hours must include one Ground Floor Lab
If you have not completed these hours, please include your plan for completion in your application form.
-
One Libido Fundamentals workshop (15 hours) or equivalent study in embodied sexuality
20 hours Mindfulness study & practice
15 hours Experiential Anatomy & Neurophysiology
Please Note: These do not need to be completed in order to apply for the training, but they are required in order to graduate as a certified Open Floor Teacher. Because the 2 years of teacher training can be an intensive time to study, it is helpful to get these done before training if possible.
