KULA DANCE
https://linktr.ee/kuladance
An intimate dance with your body, tribe & nature
I'm Lene Van Steenwinkel, a Dance/Movement Therapist & Anthropologist, who loves dancing with tribes/cultures all over the world, to explore the healing power of dance.
In 2018 I founded Kula Dance to create a conscious community in Ghent. I offer Embodied Dreamwork, Consensual Intimacy, Women Circles, Nature Connection & individual/group Dance/Movement Therapy at KARUS & at home.
I discovered Fusion Dance at Burning Man and would love to create a Fusion scene in Ghent!
COMING UP
“Ontembare Maanvrouw Traject - Dansrites doorheen de Menstruatie- en Levenscyclus” 11/01-15/03

BRING
- Your own water bottle (we will provide jugs for refills)
- Clothing that allows you to move freely
- Dance shoes you haven't worn outdoors (or socks/bare feet)
- Possibly: Yoga mat, to stretch, lay on,... We'll provide chairs to rest on as well
GUIDELINES
- Consent is key. Ask & respect a "no”.
- Everyone can invite each other (non-)verbally to dance a(nother) song.
- Check in with your dance partner: do you want to lead, follow or switch roles?
- Ask if your partner is comfortable with a close embrace, with lifts or dips.
- Does a dance feel uncomfortable? Be creative: how can I make it a pleasant/inspiring experience? Express your needs and boundaries. At any time you can end a dance.
- There are spaceholders you can ask support to & that insure a safe concensual space.
- If someone felt uncomfortable in the interaction with you, listen attentively, give apologies if needed & learn from the experience.
- This is an alcohol-free dance party.
- Between the opening and closing circles, conversation is kept to a minimum, for example, to ask consent or to ask a question during the class. We stay as much as possible out of the mind, in the body.
LET'S BLEND ALL SCENES INTO A NEW TRIBE!
‘Kula’ means community, tribe friendship, school, to stick together. My vision is to bring people of all cultures, ages, backgrounds, dance scenes & schools together in a playful, tender, adventurous, steamy, safe, heartfelt dance night.
Come with an open heart. No judgements, only free expression within the safe boundaries of consent.
