Dance as you are!
Here you can express yourself through movement in a safe space. Let go into free-form movement inspired from within, with or without a partner, without judgment or judging of others.
We play music expressing a variety of styles & energies, including world, trance, beat, reggae, pop, rock, electronic, classical, meditative, etc. Each dance is a unique experience.
The dance begins with gentle “Unwinding” music, which gradually increases in tempo. This pattern is inspired by Gabrielle Roth’s concept of “the wave.”
An essential part of Dance to Awaken the Heart is dancing “without judgment or judging of others.” We are here to explore the experience of being a soul in a body. Judgment of self or others restricts that journey. If you find yourself resisting what others are doing, or what you want to do…explore that resistance. Give in to it…and then let it go!
We generally gather the last Saturday of the month (except in summer), but this can vary. Return to this page to see when the next dance is. See below for guidelines.
