A DAY OF DANCING OURSELVES ALIVE
There’s a question I’ve been dancing for years— one that shapes my morning practice, my teaching, my relationships, everything:
How do I free up as much of my life force as possible…
…and let my most authentic self move in the world?
Every time I step onto a dancefloor, those questions breathe through me.
And in this workshop, Animal Body, Relational Body, I want to invite you into that enquiry with me.
Because when we follow the wisdom of the body — when we truly follow it — things shift faster than any amount of over-thinking or performing ever could.
This day is all about that shift.

🌞 MORNING — THE ANIMAL BODY
This part of the day is a homecoming.
A dropping down… into instinct and sensation…the cosy deliciousness of the body moving YOU, rather than the other way around.
Think human purring.
Think the pleasure of the lazy cat.
Think the soft animal of your body saying, “Ahhh… finally!”
No performing.
No striving.
No fast-food culture of “Click this, get that.”
Just permission.
Listening.
Letting life put you into motion.
Through explorations like Nine Directions and Footprints in the Sand, you’ll feel your range opening — not because you pushed, but because your system finally feels it’s safe to open and unfurl.
Picture yourself…
💃 Oiling the hips
🕺 Dropping into a gentle, grounded squat
💃 Rolling, crouching, prowling
🕺 Striding with the grizzly power of strong legs
💃 Balancing on tiptoes, lifting, bouncing
🕺 Full-breasted expansion through the chest.
What unfolds is confidence without force, vitality without effort — that sweet efficiency your animal body has always known.
By lunchtime, you’ll feel awake, supple, satisfied… and hungry.
(Good thing a delicious organic lunch is included.)

🌿 AFTERNOON — THE RELATIONAL BODY
And then… we step into the magic of moving together.
This is where the deeper intelligence of connection comes alive.
How we approach, how we retreat, how we signal boundaries, how we open…
Your relational style has a movement signature that shows itself long before words arrive.
We’ll play with…
• Boundaries
• The spaces between bodies
• Shy meetings (yes, shyness is welcome and loved)
• The moment chemistry sparks
• The moment nerves kick in
• Mirroring, leading, following, yielding
• The energy that wants to dance between us
As soon as two bodies breathe and move together, a soft calm arrives.
That’s co-regulation — the most powerful medicine in community.
We’ll explore how these states show up in daily life… and how dance gently repatterns the way we relate.
This part of the workshop tends to bring out tenderness, laughter, play, truth, vulnerability, and those “Oh wow… that’s me!” moments that change how we move through the world.

🌱 A DAY FOR TRUST, TRUTH, PLAY and COMMUNITY
I’ve seen again and again how safe dance spaces can reshape a person — how they help us meet edges with courage, share vulnerability with dignity, and allow us to be seen in the fullness of who we are.
This day is for people who want to feel more alive, more connected, more at home in their bodies and in community.
I can’t wait to welcome you!
And to witness what unfolds between us, as we dance ourselves fully, wildly, beautifully alive.
