PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP THROUGH DANCE

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP THROUGH DANCE

WHEN

14-17 MAY 2026

WHERE

PALAZZO CAPRIOLI ACADEMY, GUSSAGO (BRESCIA) ITALY

WITH

Maggie Boogaart and Ghislain de Compreignac

DESCRIPTION

This workshop is aimed at anyone who wishes to fulfil themselves through their body and movement, exploring new dimensions inspired by the art of dance, both physical and spiritual.

This approach relates the impact on daily life to the mastery of technical elements derived from classical and contemporary dance.

It is about finding where to draw energy from, how to spread it and use it in different parts of the body to create a new version of oneself that combines body and spirit, posture and one's own vision of the world.

A highly transformative course dedicated to bringing out your full potential, activating it and living it in every area of your life.

Through movement and targeted body training, you will rediscover dance as an expression of your spirit and inner joy.

In a very special location, Palazzo Caprioli in Gussago in the province of Brescia, between Verona and Milan, treat yourself to a dream stay in the atmosphere of Renaissance Italy.

The programme is structured around four evening hours of movement and balance exploration.

During the day, you can visit Brescia, Bergamo, Lake Iseo, Lake Garda, Verona, Mantua, Venice or Milan.

How can Graham-style contemporary dance help people in their personal development and self-construction?

"I have been teaching students of different ages and experience levels for over 35 years, and I am amazed by the powerful transformative potential of working with the body.

What inspires me to teach is seeing people discover their true power and watching their vital energy grow. Before my eyes, I see them quickly lose excess weight, become stronger, taller and much more confident in themselves, more flexible, drawing on more resources... and finally seeing them happier and more peaceful.

My work converges on a single goal: becoming oneself.

Through dance, I lead people to answer the questions “Who am I?”, “What power do I have within me?”, “How can I access it and make it useful for myself and my life?”.

I feel honoured to be able to do this work with people.

I look forward to seeing you at this very special course at Palazzo Caprioli Academy.

I will be happy to accompany you in discovering even more about who you are, accessing your power and your wisdom for a better quality of life.

Maggie Boogaart

How can ballet help people in their personal development and self-construction?

“Through the discovery of different ballet techniques, I lead people to discover the body's potential movement in order to develop the physiological posture that influences their view of the world.

Experiencing physical balance will increase self-confidence; experiencing the absence of balance and risk, on the other hand, fosters a deep inner joy.

The entire process will help participants build their sense of self and drastically change their success in life and in their projects."
