Hey Dance Temple Family,
*WE ARE INSIDE at The ABBEY Studio this Sunday**
The Temple Within:
This Sunday we dance in a new (and old) space; The Abbey, a former church turned arts and movement sanctuary. It’s got history, character, and the perfect vibe for dropping in and moving with intention.
This week’s theme, The Temple Within, is an invitation to reconnect with yourself; not in some lofty or mystical way, but in a real, felt sense. Through rhythm, sweat, and breath, we remember that what’s sacred doesn’t have to be serious. It’s already inside you, waiting to move.
Come as you are. Bring your body, your presence, and let’s fill this space with energy, connection, and a whole lot of groove.
About Mr. Berg-E:
As a sonic alchemist Mr. Berg-E's heart-lead mission is to craft playful and inspiring soundscapes that ignite the dance floor. He blends a myriad of genres, from House, D&B and bass music to disco, funk and organica in seamless fashion; curating emotional and evocative journeys that uplift and invigorate. Be ready to be moved.

ON BOUNDARIES & TOUCH:
We recognise that touch and physical proximity can mean different things to different people. In this space we practice self-awareness of our own bodies, and the ways in which we engage with the moving bodies of others. We define consent as freely given, enthusiastic agreement for mutual participation.
WHEN APPROACHING OTHERS:
Make no assumptions!
Look for a yes, look for eye contact
Respect any no (including when someone is ignoring you or moves away from you.) Respect a Solo Dancer’s right to their space. Do not engage in physical touch without clear consent.
This is a transformational space for dance, healing, prayer, laughter, joy, sadness and everything in between.
ALL AGES, ALL GENDER IDENTITIES & EXPRESSIONS, ALL BODIES WELCOME!
-Love from the Dance Temple Team: River, Paddy, Aaron and Mark xox
