Somatic Dance
A empowering guided journey through movement back to your body. Starting back up Friday 26th Septemb
Service Description
Amanda & Lauren bring you Somatic Dance at The Octagon, Taradale Anglican Church, 23 Puketapu Rd *Every Last Friday of every month 7-8:15pm* Amanda & Lauren are trained Somatic Dance Facilitators by Sarsha Hope. Our intention is to create a space where we can let go of the busyness of life, get out of our minds and drop into our bodies. Somatic dance is a free-form dance expression with no choreographed moves or prescribed ways to move. It's all about allowing your body to move in the way it naturally wants and needs to. There are no set criteria or steps. Each dance will have an embodied focus and will have invitational cues and prompts along the way to facilitate the journey. *Please note, this differs from things like Ecstatic Dance, which is non-guided. Each dance session features an intentionally curated playlist/soundscape designed to help you connect deeply with your body, which may evoke feelings and emotions - all of you is welcome. The playlist progresses through multiple rhythms, starting gently, building to a peak, and then easing back down to stillness and integration. This musical wave activates a release in the body that, if followed, can bring tremendous healing, relief, balance, and wellness. It offers you the opportunity to move authentically, in a way that feels true to your needs. Doors open at 6:45pm for a prompt start at 7pm until 8:15pm This is a phone-free, sober and drug-free dance floor for adults only 💃🏻 No previous experience necessary 🕺🏼 Wear your comfy clothes, bring a drink bottle and your curiosity!

No-shows or missed appointments will be charged in full. If you are running late, your session may be shortened to avoid impacting other clients, and the full fee will still apply. I understand that life happens and unexpected situations arise. However, late cancellations directly affect my small business and my ability to offer that time to another client.
