Bodies Moving: Somatic Exploration & Freeform Dance

Get curious. Get moving. Get into your body.

What happens when you stop thinking about how you're moving and start exploring how movement feels?

Bodies Moving is a playful, guided movement experience that invites you to reconnect with your body through curiosity, exploration, and self-expression.

Rather than focusing on how movement looks, we'll explore how it feels from the inside out. Through a variety of movement exercises and invitations, we'll discover new sensations, experiment with different ways of moving, and become more attuned to our bodies' natural impulses and rhythms.

The experience unfolds in two parts:

Guided Movement Exploration: During the first half, you'll be invited to experiment with different movements, sensations, rhythms, and qualities of motion. From subtle shifts and slow-motion movement to shaking, bouncing, flowing, and expanding, these playful exercises encourage curiosity and help us discover new possibilities in our bodies.

Free Movement: During the second half, the guidance falls away, leaving you free to explore movement in whatever way feels right for you. Accompanied by a thoughtfully curated musical journey, you'll have the freedom to follow your own impulses, explore your personal expression, and simply enjoy the experience of being a body in motion.

There are no steps to learn, no movements to perfect, and no expectations to perform. This is an individual exploration in a supportive, dimly lit environment without mirrors or judgment.

What to Expect

• Guided movement exercises that encourage curiosity, body awareness, and self-expression
• An extended period of free movement accompanied by a curated playlist
• Opportunities to explore a wide range of movement qualities and sensations
• An individual, non-performative experience with no choreography or partnering
• The freedom to move at your own pace, take breaks, or simply notice what you're experiencing
• A gentle closing to reconnect with stillness and notice how you feel

About the Music:
An eclectic mix of ambient soundscapes, neoclassical instrumentals, downtempo electronica, melodic house, experimental beats, world rhythms, and soulful, groove-driven music.

No dance experience is necessary. All bodies and movement abilities are welcome.

Come as you are. Move as you are. Discover what it's like to be connected with your body.
