SOMATIC DANCE CONVENTION 2026 - the return…

THIS YEAR'S THEME:

🚀 THE NEURO-VERSE 🚀

A Two-Room "Summit" Flow: Dance, Embodiment, and Transformation.

Welcome to the second year of the UK’s premier Somatic experience! This year, we journey into the Neuro-Verse. An expansive, futuristic landscape where we celebrate internal experience over external appearance. This is a sanctuary for Bio-Intelligence, where every conscious rhythm is a medicine, and every nervous system is a map to embodiment.

📍 EVENT DETAILS

Location: Richmix, Shoreditch, London

Date: 19 April 2026

Time: 12:30 PM – 10:00 PM

Registration / Check-In:

• Opens at 12:30 PM
• VIP ticket holders receive goodie bags, and general ticket holders receive wristbands

🚀 WHAT TO EXPECT

From the moment you arrive, you are no longer a spectator; you are an explorer.

The Neuro-Verse is for movers, dancers, creatives, therapists, seekers, and curious Souls. No dance experience required.

Here, every rhythm is valid, every body is honored, and regulation matters more than perfection.

🧭 TWO-ROOM SUMMIT FLOW

Navigate your own coordination. Move freely between rooms; there is no wrong path, only what your nervous system calls for.

12:30 PM | Arrival and Neural Grounding

A shared opening to land, regulate, and synchronise our collective nervous systems.

This is neither a performance nor a clinical therapy space; it is a guided embodied exploration where presence matters more than appearance.
