# Event Details - **Event Name**: Somatic Dance - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 31 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 25 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+12:00) - **Event Description**: Amanda & Lauren bring you Somatic Dance & LIVE Soundscapes on the decks!!! at The Octagon, Taradale Anglican Church, 23 Puketapu Rd LAST FRIDAY of the month 7-8:15pm Amanda & Lauren are trained in over 200hours each in levels 1 & 2 of Somatic Dance and DJ Facilitating by Sarsha Hope & Stephen Blase. 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 8pm This is a phone-free, sober and drug-free dance floor for adults only 💃🏻 No previous experience necessary 🕺🏼 *it gets LOUD, feel free to bring earplugs for your experience.
