Find FREEDOM ON THE DANCEFLOOR to a liberating soundwave of world beats, drums, rhythms & heartfelt melodies . Move shyly, mildly or wildly!
Freedom on the dancefloor is...
Allowing yourself time to feel, to heal, to move, to breathe, to have fun, to just simply be with No judgement. No rules. No expectation. No hierarchy. No comparison. No steps to follow or get wrong. No dance police!
What to expect:
Opening Circle (with optional Rose Elixir)
A very warm welcome & some grounding practices to help you settle into your bodies & the space. There will be optional Rose Elixir, Marie's Homegrown Rose Medicine, made with love, as her alternative to Cacao. A beautiful, gentle elixir to ease your nervous system & open your heart.
The Dance Journey:
A barefoot freeform, intuitive movement practice combined to uplifting & liberating soundwave to help you loosen up & let go on the dancefloor. Reconnecting you with YOUR DANCE. Your birthright. Conscious Dance is based on the wisdom that our bodies know how they need and want to move in order to heal, strengthen, release stress and be nourished. We dance to EXPRESS, not impress. On the dancefloor, there is no talking as we drop the words so we can connect fully to the music & your body, dancing with whatever is present for you in any way that feels right for you. Step in perhaps feeling self conscious, anxious, or awkward (this is very normal!) and step out feeling elated, lighter & brighter! Move shyly, mildly or wildly! Anything goes...
The music:
Marie creates an bespoke, intuitive wave of music that is soothing, soulful, earthy, tribal, heart opening, euphoric & fun. Inspired by all genres of world beats, drums, rhythms and melodies. This practice is about dropping out of the busy mind and into the body/heart, allowing your movement to be inspired by the music.
All you have to do is turn up, tune in & be moved.
We will end our dance journey relaxing with some grounding, gentle sounds & silence taking time to integrate our experience.
