Open Floor Conscious dances continue online so we can physically distance while socially connecting and healing.

At this time of isolation we are in dire need of connection as well as resourcing the nervous system to cope with the weeks ahead. In an Open Floor dance we see movement as vital in maintaining the balance of life, following a movement cycle that resemble rhythms that occur naturally in nature.

Open Floor Movement Practice synthesizes the universal wisdom that underlies all movement practices. Breath, freedom, awareness, connection to others, self-expression, unbridled creativity, emotional fluidity, mindfulness, community, meditation – these and more can be found on the Open Floor.

There are no steps to follow, If you find yourself lost or not knowing what to do try these...

Stay - As with any meditation practice, distractions happen – expect them. Just gently bring your attention back to movement.

Pace yourself - No matter what the rest of the group are doing, listen to your body. If you relax in the beat, like a swimmer treading water, you’ll refuel.

Stretch yourself - If you always keep to yourself, include someone else in your dance(on screen)
Slow down. Speed up. Experiment. Break a habit. Imitate somebody and see how it feels. Create your own remix of others' moves.

It’s not about the music - The teacher uses music to catalyze movement. Love it or hate it, how you respond is up to you. Use everything as fuel for your dance.

Don't give up - We all hit patches of fatigue, boredom, shyness, frustration, or discomfort. Even if you can only wiggle a finger or nod your head to the beat, stay with it until something changes. Most often, it will.

Enjoy yourself excessive seriousness will slow you down.

No right or wrong and no set moves, open up to a world of possibilities beyond your imagination, with you, the dance floor and great music!

Zoom is the platform we will be using that is a video conferencing software similar to skype but with a lot more functionality. You will need to download and install it so you can access the dance online.
