About Conscious Dance Sessions
Although each session varies depending on what the space is calling for, you can expect to arrive in a warm and friendly atmosphere of women, where connection, self-expression, and support flow freely.
Our group sizes are small and intimate. We’ll begin landing in our bodies with a warm-up with music, allowing ourselves to settle in. As a Dj, I’ll then guide you with musical and verbal invitations to explore and activate your unique movement.
The energy may shift and become more dynamic , but you’re always welcome to move at your own rhythm and pace, without forcing but also without holding back.
We’ll close by returning to a place of calm and settling. The dance is intuitive and if you need to, you can always sit or lie down.
Depending on which session you choose to come to, there will be time for tea, fruit and sharing your at the end.
Practicals:
You are welcome to dance barefoot or bring a pair of dancing shoes/trainers. Please note that the floor can be cold in the winter, so it’s a good idea to wear something comfortable to move in and bring layers for warmth. If you enjoy writing, drawing or making notes, feel free to bring a notebook and pens and pencils.
What is Open Floor?
Although Open Floor dance practice offers space for you to explore free-form, non-choreographed movement, it is a guided practice and we do follow some structures and resources within it.
These include:
- Ground
- Spatial awareness
- Centre
- Activate and Settle
- Towards & Away
- Expand & Contract
- Release
The body is our anchor and the music, the space and each other a support in our unique exploration.
- Elements & nature (in my garden studio sessions we will pay particular attention to what is happening seasonally and cyclically outside, as well as in our bodies)
The resources that we explore within Open Floor dance practice are also things that you can continue to use to ground yourself in your body off the dance floor in your day-to-day life.
