DM to join We are a core group of dancers practicing a weekly meditation in movement.

Grounded and expanding, we welcome newcomers to enjoy dancing to curated music on a spacious hardwood dance floor in the heart of Hong Kong Island. Absolutely suited to beginners, this practice has no specific steps to follow and pressures no one to perform. We encourage you to dance your own dance. You will have ample time to warm up in the calm setting that has been prepared for you. A brief gui

ded introduction gives way to freeform expression. Participants dance on their own and join with others as the spirit moves them. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and be prepared to dance barefoot or with footwear designed exclusively for the dance floor. No street shoes or socks are permitted. Our facilitators, Flo and Thomas Vinton, have been practicing conscious dance regularly for 10 years and teaching arts-related activities for a quarter century.

Dear Conscious Dancers,

Monday June 3rd, 7-9pm, Conscious Dance Collective of Hong Kong plunges into a movement exploration around the theme of Falling.

Sometimes a leap of faith, other times a clumsy stumble, the outcome of a fall makes no guarantees. Tuck and roll, flail wildly, hopefully land on your feet. Falling asks us to let go of what we previously found secure, in order to find a new state of balance. When we hold on tightly the ensuing struggle can feel a lot like suffering whereas surrendering into free-fall has the potential to liberate us from our fears, perhaps even revealing superpowers we didn’t know we possessed … until we fell.

How do you organise yourself when you lose your balance? If life throws a curveball at you, knocking you off your feet, do you rise and face the challenge with a new understanding of your strengths and vulnerabilities? Perhaps a helping hand appears …

Supported by carefully curated music and our committed crew to prepare the space and the installation, we invite you to drop into the rhythm of the music with us and tune into the felt sense of your body playing in the field of gravity.

That which we cannot see can still affect us.

We have completed our Galactic Journey to the planets visible to our naked eye from Earth, but wait, there's more!

Our outer gas planets, Uranus and Neptune, orbit the sun billions of kilometers away. Even with our best technology, we rarely see them, but their gravity is always shaping the paths of their neighbors.

These beings call our attention to the parts of us we don't always show to the world - our inner genius and weirdness, our dreams, doubts, and unknowns.

Dance with us this Monday, January 15th, on an extension of our Galactic Journey where we explore, and perhaps confront, that which we tend to hide but needs expression so we can fully live.

Monday 4 December 7-9pm door close 7.20


The Galactic Journey series continues.
Mars

Mars orbits the Sun at a slower pace than Earth, as a result, its movement in the sky appears slower compared to the stars and other planets. Mars is often one of the brightest objects in the night sky, rivalling Venus, uhum yes rivalling, with its mythological reference to war. Its reddish hue distinguishes it from other celestial bodies, making it easily recognizable.

In astrology, Mars represents energy, action, and assertiveness. It is associated with qualities like passion, courage, and ambition. Within mythology, this reference to war is also self-efficacy, ability to protect self, sexuality, assertive, movement, anger, planet of fornication, ego, desire, boundaries, passion…

Come dance move shake out your Mars on the floor on Monday… YES the end of the year is near. Let’s recollect, give it our all and celebrate the clear edges of this planet’s teachings.

On Monday, 30th of October, we are dancing on Earth.
On Earth, in Earth, with Earth, for Earth, because of Earth.

We are one with Earth. Inseparable of it. We are forming a vast closed-loop system with it/her.
Gaia theory in science talks about the in-separateness of biological functions from each other. We are grouped in different density, yet we can not study any form of life in a vacuum. Every process depends on other processes taking place, and this way we all become part of a huge network of interconnected web in full interdependence with both living and non living forms.

As Maggie Clifford sings in her song “Earth our body, water my blood, air my breath, fire my spirit”, we will dance reflecting on, connecting with and deeply experiencing our bodies. We will explore the outwards energy of “apana” which sustains us with fuel for our worldly life. Earthing and grounding as a concept allows release (emotional, physical and mental), while being held in the safety of Mother Earth’s gravity without which we would just be floating particles flying around.

We will tap into gratefulness for our bodily experience and sustenance, and form a greater connection with the vehicle we are granted, with those around us, and for our Home of incarnation (for this lifetime): Planet Earth.

Dear Conscious Dancers,

We are dancing this Monday 24 April, 7-9pm, to the conscious dance practice of “3degreesdance” and the theme of “Burning with Love”.

*Burning with Love*

Our world, our universe, our God are all, at their core, Love. Love is a feeling we can all feel with all its sweetness and light, as it is at times.

But, there are also other times, when this divine, universal Love has a nature that transforms anyone who is fortunate to have it. At these times, universal Love will tear up our insides out and replace them with something better. It will touch us, kiss us, in a way that we will never be the same again. In fact, in coming a little bit closer to us each time, this Burning Divine Love inherent in our gift of life, will shift our point of view a little bit more to the spiritual, a little bit closer to the truest expression of our self.

This Monday, we dance to the tune of Universal Love, we melt into the 3degrees of our consciousness in this love and we examine our fears and openness in receiving it; in being shaped by it. And we support one another, by our presence, by the sacredly held space, and we grow, we feel the burning of love inside and out.

Dear Conscious Dancers,

We are dancing this Monday 3 April , 7-9pm, at Dance Concept on the theme of *Allowance*.

To allow oneself to be as they are, can often simply mean to allow the permission to lean in and say yes to the full spectrum of what is Here.

To lean in with totality and dive into the heart beat of this moment.

Allowance to savour
Allowance to bask
Allowance to simmer, sit and sing

In discomfort or joy, can we lean in and say Yes! Can we lean in and make art from pain? Art from pleasure?

On the dance floor we cultivate allowance to be with and move with the arising moment and the system of pulsations and sensations in the body. We allow these arisings to be information that we can dance with, we can move with , we can flirt with…

It is in the full permission that we can access and touch the full range of our humannness and create form & shape, movement & majesty.

Let us dance our selves alive, in full unconstrained allowance 🤍

Dear Conscious Dancers,

We are dancing this Monday 27 March , 7-9pm, at Dance Concept on the theme of *On Trust*.

Trust’s best friend is faith. At times our faith is faint, so we trust less. We have had many experiences that alert us of the risks and request a stubborn stand within our comfort zones. Seldom do we realize that we also have had plenty of occasions where things did work out wonderfully, where we did feel capable and managed to perform things that were difficult.

We just might not see it, because it happened in a process unfolding moment by moment, a process to be recognised not only after, but as it occurs in the now.

To trust more, we can look at how birds and squirrels get fed daily without much worry, so how on Earth would we not be granted what we need? An oak tree trusts its genetic blueprint to develop into what it was programmed to grow into. Can we trust the same?

Evolution wants us to live, to succeed, and to emerge. Life sustains us. We are in favor. We are just requested to consciously align ourselves with staying in favor. Now. Day by day, minute by minute, we align. We stay present, do our best without judgement. The process takes over the rest.

On the 27th of March, we dance in trust.

*Femme*

Fluidity, movement, nourishment, care, creative power, collaboration, heartspace, timeless presence, harmony, beauty, awe, the sublime.

Wordly systems called her woo-woo, hysterical, witch, the shadow, called her the profane, the saint.

Distorted views on the feminine energy hurt not only women but the entire Gaia system, called Earth, that includes women, men, children, animals, bugs, plants, the soil, air, water, the rest of the elements, the collective consciousness and our future evolution.

On the 20th of March we dance for the femme within. To invite her out of the shadows, to recognise, honour, fuse and integrate her power in its full presence for a fuller life, and fuller world.

Clarity

Clarity finds its origins in Latin as Clarus (Clear) and expands in its Middle English origin in the sense: ‘glory and divine splendour’ (Oxford Languages).
Sensing both these meanings perhaps there is a quality of “ease” present: something divine that is able to land. The delight when glasses makes something blurry easy to see or headphones makes a conversation easy to hear. We find ourselves more ready to relax. Our nervous system can find its ease and flow, its ‘glory or divine splendour’.

Somatically, clarity could translate as a strong sense of where we are in time and space: a starting and end point of movement, a sense of direction, proprioception and planes of movement. We express ourselves in our dance with clarity in shapes, form, lines of movement, direction and texture in the energetic quality of our movement.

The music we hear, translates into form and shape in our bodies, sensation of the beat the timbre, the harmony translating our expression and we give form …

Although what is clearly heard by someone in the music, may not be clearly heard by another, thus clarity is perceived differently. Every body’s translation/shaping is different, and can vary at any given point in time and space.
Can we find a sense of ease in the midst of differences, chaos and the unknown?

Show up, dance your dance… and perhaps unexpectedly, ever so lightly… a sense of splendour lands brightly, clear as a butterfly on a spring flower.

*Begin Anew*

With the arrival of Spring we welcome new beginnings in our outer and inner worlds. The question is not what shall we do newly but who ought we become.

A choice, available to us every second. At times we act from a place of fear, and we see the results of fear playing out in our life. Other moments when we choose to renew our selves in love, life buds naturally, as spring does, in total sync with Nature’s intention.

On the 6th of March we dance ourselves into presence, the one and only true starting point ever available to us, Earth dwellers.
