~ Get Down. Get Up! ~

Inevitably in dance (as in life) we may trip, get bumped, or fall. But what if the downs and the ups were equal parts of the grand play of it all? Rather than fighting it and letting embarrassment creep in, what would happen if we let our stumbling be the dance? On our way down, maybe we *really* get down. Groove with it. Move with it. And then...when we’re ready to get up and try again...let’s Get On UP BABY! Pick up those feet, swivel those hips, dust off our shoulders, and rise with style. We got this!

~ Music. Movement. Magic ~

There is first a sound, then a pulse, then a rhythm, then a melody. There is the space within us and the space that our inner space moves through. Each moment expectant, each movement emergent. Exploring the line between moving and being moved, dancing and being danced. Bodies, fine tuned and free. Every movement an evolution of the soul. The magic is there.

~ Wildflowers ~

How much time do we spend cultivating the gardens of our life? We may plant, tend, water and w**d, and have a certain 'image' of what will grow and how it will look. But sometimes, without even a conscious intention, something wild & beautiful begins to grow. Perhaps the same can be true in our dance. A spontaneous wild and beautiful motion can emerge without a plan and when we least expect it. In this Sunday's dance, let's ask ourselves: What is here now? Beautiful and growing...EXPRESSING through us, without over-efforting. Let's open our hearts to spontaneous beauty and the wildflowers that want to bloom into our dance and our lives.

~ Unbound ~

Through sensation, movement, and dance, we’ll explore the ways we hold and protect ourselves, listening for what wants to soften, open, move, or express. Not forcing the body toward freedom, but noticing what is already alive and giving it room to emerge.

Feel. Notice. Choose. Unbind.

~ Time for Space ~

Time…being with what is now instead of what is next. Feel your feet. Follow your breath. Let your body speak, let this dance be an invitation to step into the here-and-now. Shake, sway, stretch, groove, rest, and move in whatever way feels true. No experience needed. No right way to do it. Just music, movement, and a room full of humans remembering how good it feels to be in their bodies. Come as you are. Move what wants to move. Leave with a little more space inside.

~ Grounded in Love ~

What is your body’s relationship to stress? In these smoky days, and for myriad other reasons, life includes experiences where tension or stress in the body seems only natural. Where possible, and as often as we remember, we can breathe with these sensations and soften unneeded muscle tension. In our dance this week, let’s practice the human art of staying connected to creativity, breathing presence, and grounding love into our physical bodies & expression in response to signals of stress.

~ Let’s Get Weird ~

When I was a child, I never thought something was weird until I was told it was weird. I learned to hide precious parts of myself to please the adults in my life, conforming to their perceptions of what is acceptable behavior. Sunday’s dance is an invitation to let our freak flags fly. To allow parts we have kept hidden a space to breathe, and laugh, and dance, and cry in a supportive, sacred community. Let us join together and see how weird we can be!

~ Primal Play ~

When was the last time you let your inner animal come out to play? At times our instincts might call us to growl, howl, or prowl, but not often are we in spaces where we can express these urges wild and free. This dance is an invitation to get down in the dirt with your forest fam, shake out your coat, and let it all go on this primal playground of life. We are also nearing the start of the Lion’s Gate Portal - A time for embodied authority and bold self expression. May your dance echo your roar!

~ SPIRIT OF THE ANCESTORS ~

You Belong here, and all of you is seen and welcomed. Your dancing body is the interweaving of the spirit of creation and the physicality of your ancestors: Your family, your lineage, your tribe. Some are still embodied, many have moved beyond, and all are connected through you. This dance is an opportunity to allow them to dance, to heal, and to be expressed through the unique and special expression known as your dance. Welcome ancestors!!

~ Moving Stories ~

Every body carries stories. Some live in memory, some in posture, some in the ways we reach, resist, soften, protect, and respond. These stories may come from old patterns, relationships, family histories, moments of rupture, or places where we learned how to stay safe. This dance is an invitation to notice our stories without needing to fix them, and allow our bodies’ movements to shift, loosen, or clarify the way we meet ourselves and each other within the space around us.
