A SELF-EXPLORATION
INTENSIVE OF
Movement, Pole
& The Relational Field
with Tracee Kafer & Alisa Saric
Friday, Nov 6th - Sunday, Nov 8th, 2026
Hosted at The Base Studio Paris
Limited to 10 Participants
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OUR MOVEMENT IS NO LONGER a skill to master,
but a relationship to deepen?
What if your body wasn't a fixed identity to define or improve, but an ever-changing landscape through which life continuously reveals itself?
The Becoming Body is an intimate, deep-dive movement intensive devoted to self-discovery through tangible experience.
Combining movement exploration, freestyle practice, breath, sound, pole, and relational exchange, we will explore what emerges when we loosen our grip on who we think we are and become curious about what can unfold in the moment.
Rather than asking, "How do I move?” we’ll become interested in the deeper questions:
Who am I when I stop trying to perform?
What happens when I allow movement to reveal me rather than represent me?
How does relationship shape my experience of myself or my way of moving?
Together we will meet our body as part of life rather than a finished creation.
We will also explore how our sense of self is continually shaped through relationships — with gravity, breath, sensation, space, music, the pole, and one another. Through these encounters, new aspects of ourselves become visible.
The pole becomes more than an apparatus.
Movement becomes more than expression.
The room becomes more than a collection of individuals.
Each becomes part of a larger field of relating—a place where rhythm, resonance, contrast, attunement, and emergence can be experienced directly.
This intensive is not about finding the "right" movement but developing the capacity to witness, trust, and engage with the fluid intelligence of your lived experience.
To meet yourself as a becoming body.
“An experience like no other—it reaches beyond the physical aspect of movement."
— Melanie

My movement was the most honest it has ever been—no expectations, no judgment, just impulse and expression. I want to keep this authenticity with me, in dance and in life.

Your Facilitators
About FYF Creator, Tracee Kafer
Tracee Kafer, the creator of Finding Your Freestyle® and The Freestyle Collective, has a near-lifetime of experience in the world of dance and over 18 years devoted to the art of pole. She's journeyed through the landscapes of student, performer, nationally-ranked competitor, world-traveling teacher, New York-based choreographer, and in the last decade and a half shifted purposefully toward the realms of exploration, embodiment, and self-inquiry.
Alongside her movement work, Tracee has spent the past six years training in Systemic Family Constellations and relational approaches to human experience, deepening her understanding of how identity, expression, belonging, and perception emerge within larger relational fields.
Practicing and facilitating her own ever-evolving freestyle movement and self-inquiry methods in the energetics of groups, she aims to continuously untether from genre, style, convention, and apparatus in order to gather in the communal experience of moving from a deeply authentic voice. Her work invites participants to meet themselves not as a fixed identity, but as an unfolding experience of aliveness.
Tracee believes that if you can move (and feel), you can dance, and that by honoring movement and relationship as lifelong practices, we gain greater access to presence, connection, freedom, and self-trust.
About Alisa Saric
Alisa's journey is driven by a profound fascination with what moves us as humans, dedicating over 13 years of pole dance practice to researching the art of teaching sensory, body-first movement.
This deep love for human communication is rooted in her background in linguistics, which naturally evolved from studying the spoken word into exploring the non-verbal, felt language of the body. For the past decade, she has brought this vision to life through Drehmoment, her pole dance studio that transitioned from a successful physical space in Berlin, Germany, into a thriving international online community.
Her facilitation is heavily shaped by Alisa’s formal training as a breathing movement therapist at the Ilse Middendorf Institute Berlin, allowing her to hold a safer, attuned space for deep somatic exploration. Rather than focusing on rigid form or external aesthetics, Alisa connects physical sensation with mental, emotional, and social awareness. She loves guiding people to explore the layers of genuine sensuality and finding ways to breathe life into inanimate partners, like the pole or stripper heels. Gently and confidently, Alisa guides people back to forgotten parts of themselves, helping them listen to the fluid intelligence of their own bodies and reclaim a profound sense of reconnection.

THE BODY AS RELATIONSHIP
〰️
THE BODY AS RELATIONSHIP 〰️
What You Bring is Welcome
Through a multi-dimensional movement experience, we will:
Meet the body with curiosity instead of certainty
Practice listening as much as expressing
Follow sensation into movement, and movement back into sensation
Explore how attention shapes experience
Discover what becomes possible when we stop trying to control every outcome
(relationship isn't built in a single moment, it is practiced one conversation at a time)
Expectations & Levels
Current lovers of (or those curious) about using pole dance and freestyle for self-exploration and self-expression, who love to explore themselves through movement, embodiment and self-inquiry practices are encouraged to attend.
Intensives can have an amplifying affect, and over the course of this intensive you may move though feeling challenged, nourished, resistant, and/or inspired. It is recommended that you have ample resources for an experience like this — people, places, and things that support your regulation, self-connection, and grounding. It is also important if possible to have some space before/during/after the experience for rest, digestion, and integration.
We don't work at a particular technical or skill level, we work with the forms, ability, and access your body has at present. Same goes for any non-moving practices we use. You can be new, a hobbyist, professional, semi-retired, or all the way to mastery, all is welcome.
“This workshop changed my life. It helped me tap into feelings, hidden thoughts, and expressions I’d never accessed before. It helped me break down creative barriers and find a freedom of movement I didn’t know was possible.
— NC
Everything I learned during these workshops was not only applicable to movement, it was very applicable to life overall... — Jay”
