Meditative dance programme
Unique Energy Dancing training for the development of your being
The dance therapy training is based on the basics of the Light Awareness Philosophy and the healing approaches of the Light Essence Therapy according to David Wared.
Join the modular dance training program offered by the Energy Dancing department at the Light Awareness Academy in Düsseldorf and immerse yourself in a meditative journey to your essence. In various guided energy dances with one's eyes closed, the vibrations of the dance merge with light point activation, color and sound impulses, healing frequencies, conscious breathing, and voice work.
This training is a living implementation of the Light Awareness Philosophy and Light Psychology founded by David Wared. You will experience how liberation and healing processes happen through dance, with every movement becoming an impulse for self-discovery and self-awareness.
The modular structure allows you to integrate obligatory content and set individual priorities through elective modules. You decide for yourself which topics you want to explore in depth, which aspects of light essence therapy you want to integrate, and how you want to shape your personal profile as a future Energy Dancing Practitioner by David Wared or Energy Dancing Teacher by David Wared.
The basic level “Introduction to Energy Dancing” introduces you to the practice of Energy Dancing and the theoretical foundations of the Energy Dancing philosophy. You will learn the four selected energy dances and discover how you can use them in everyday life—for yourself—as a practical source of strength. This level forms the foundation for the further expert and mentor modules.
In the expert modules for “Energy Dancing Practitioner,” you will deepen your knowledge of the Energy Dancing philosophy and become an application expert for six additional meditative energy dances. You will also learn advanced methods of Light Essence Therapy, integrate them into your dance practice, and refine your movement and expression style. The expert modules primarily serve your personal self-awareness and consciousness development. You will only acquire a teaching qualification after completing the mentor module.
In the mentor modules for “Energy Dancing Teacher,” you will acquire comprehensive skills for professional teaching and sensitive guidance of transformation processes according to the five pillars of Light Essence Therapy. You will deepen your understanding of the philosophy of light consciousness and learn to mindfully guide people at different levels of consciousness in dance. You will receive your teaching qualification after a comprehensive final exam that certifies your knowledge and practical skills.
Depending on your interests and your time and financial capacity, you decide which elective modules you would like to study in depth, both theoretically and practically, especially with regard to the dances you want to teach later.

Range of possible applications
Energy Dancing combines prevention, therapy and rehabilitation into a holistic concept that strengthens body awareness, promotes emotional balance, and awakens joie de vivre. Whether in salutogenic self-awareness workshops, trauma-sensitive dance therapy, or senior dance in rehabilitation facilities—here, people from all walks of life find new sources of strength and resilience.
You create your own formats, such as burnout prevention or senior dance, and establish partnerships with counseling centers and educational institutions. In everyday life, Energy Dancing strengthens your resilience and sharpens your perception, enabling you to recognize blockages more quickly and initiate their resolution. Your newfound clarity is felt by those around you—family, friends, and colleagues benefit from your balanced presence and strengthened self-confidence.
The following classification of the areas of application into prevention, therapy and rehabilitation gives an initial overview:
After completing your training, you will be able to use Energy Dancing independently in group or individual sessions - for example, in creative self-awareness seminars, bodywork courses at adult education centers, yoga studios, or fitness centers. With this holistic approach, you will promote holistic stress prevention, vitality maintenance, and potential development. In cooperation with seminar centers such as the Light Awareness Academy, companies, meeting places, health insurance companies, and educational institutions, you will organize retreats and introductory workshops that help people return to their personal flow of life in a sustainable way.
You integrate Energy Dancing into your existing therapeutic or naturopathic setting to promote body awareness, emotional balance, and stress reduction—whether in psychosomatic day clinics, psychiatric-psychotherapeutic facilities, or counseling institutions. You accompany people suffering from addiction and mental illness, people with trauma or physical blockages, and patients with depression and burnout.
In inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation centers and senior care facilities, you demonstrate that vitality and joie de vivre can be experienced even with physical limitations. With tailor-made course formats—from senior dance to burnout prevention programs—and collaborations with counseling centers, clinics, and educational institutions, you strengthen the physical agility and resilience of your participants. Your balanced presence and keen body awareness not only enrich your therapeutic work, but also have a positive impact on your private and social life.
For whom is this education suitable?
The training programme is aimed at anyone who wants to deepen their personal awareness through meditative dance practice and discover their own co-creative power. It offers spiritual self-awareness and deep self-knowledge through consciously guided bodywork, which releases deeper feelings and refined body awareness and initiates healing processes.
At the same time, it qualifies professionals from the health, education and social sectors – such as therapists, educators, alternative practitioners, healers, coaches and workshop leaders – in the professional application of dance therapy methods.
