Dance Deeper

Has the water been calling?

Welcome. We have felt it, too. The original Siren's Song: singing us to the beach, the lake, the rivers and the pools...

We are Merpeople: awakening, remembering, gathering.

And we can't wait to dance deeper, with you.

What is SubMergence?

SubMergence Dance is an invitation to go deeper — into yourself, into community, into Gaia, and into the cosmos.

It is the art of moving with music underwater, carried by breath, buoyancy, and rhythm. Unlike swimming or diving, this is dance — embodied play, ritual, and release, immersed in sound that travels not just through the ears but through the entire body.

The human body is about 60% water — our blood nearly 90%, our brain around 73%, our muscles and kidneys close to 79%, and even our bones hold 31%. When music moves through water, it enters every cell. Plug your ears and listen: the song is still clear, because sound is not only entering from the outside — it is resonating through you.

To dance underwater is to remember: the self as fluid and alive; the community as co‑regulating and listening; Gaia as our living planet and Moana as the ocean that holds us; and the cosmos as the infinite womb — the place before time, where weightlessness teaches us to belong.

Why Water?

The human body is mostly water. When we play music through water, these frequencies move through skin, fascia, bone, and breath — into every cell. Underwater, you don’t just hear with your ears; you receive with your body. Plug your ears and listen: the song is still clear, because it’s not only arriving through the ear canal — it’s arriving through you.

Buoyancy softens the nervous system. Rhythm re‑threads our sense of self. This practice is beyond the womb: a reconnection to the time before time, floating weightless in the cosmos, remembering we are ocean.

The Soundscape

Underwater audio turns our surroundings into a living medium — thick with frequencies carried by the element itself. Music is no longer something you stand outside of: it surrounds you, enters you, moves you from within. The result is full‑body music: intimate, enveloping, and unmistakably danceable.

Breathwork

Breathwork is one of the most powerful somatic tools in our human experience, and it is woven directly into SubMergence. Every inhale and exhale becomes part of the rhythm, guiding you deeper into presence and attunement. The dance is not only movement of the body, but movement of breath — expansion, release, surrender, and return.

In water, breath becomes a powerful teacher, ally, friend. Holding, releasing, and recovering oxygen mirrors our cycles of tension and letting go. This dialogue with breath grounds the experience, balancing safety, expansion, and the freedom to explore new states of being.
