EMBODIED DANCE |NATURE SILENT DISCO

An outside movement space with permission to feel, process, and express through somatic movement, breath, and expressive dance.
About this Event

Embodied Dance is a movement space that invites you to feel, process, and express through the body. We will create a safe container to move with intention, both through guided-movement and free expression. Through somatic movement, breath, and expressive dance, we'll use the body's own intelligence to shift out of stress and suppression and into presence and regulation.

NATURE SILENT DISCO! We are taking movement outside under the trees in Cheesman Park. Nature has always been one of our greatest nervous system resources and support. Outside, your body gets to remember what it already knows: Movement is natural. Expression is natural.

THEME THIS MONTH: FEEL YOUR POWER! Many of us are disconnected from our full capacity of our true strength, inner power, courage, boldness. This class will focus on connecting and cultivating that inner strength. Curated playlist and focused movements to ignite your innate power.

Research shows that even a short time outside in nature, activates the parasympathetic nervous system. The silent disco format adds another layer of freedom: wireless headphones mean you're in your own sonic world, able to fully drop into your own experience without distraction.

The music is curated to support nervous system regulation, somatic release, and authentic expression — building gradually, creating space for resourcing, processing, releasing, expressing, and grounding.

This class is an invitation to move from the inside out — following sensation, breath, and rhythm as guides back to your own aliveness. Through free, expressive movement, we explore freedom as a state in your body.

All bodies, all levels, are welcome. No expereince needed. This is movement and dance based on free movement and expression.

This is a safe space to:

Build a deep inner-connection with yourself.

Build self-trust, self-appreciation, self-compassion.

Have an outlet for releasing tension, stress, and stuck energy.

Let your body be free to feel, move, and express, be in your authentic flow.

Cultivate joy, freedom, and fun.

SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING:

"The Nature Disco was such a welcoming container and Betsy created a strong sense of safety to just get lost within our own experience of our body and the music despite being in the middle of a park! I was effortlessly able to drop in after she set the stage about what to expect and how our time together would unfold. She was a playful, gentle, and confident guide to the journey alongside an impeccably curated playlist of Funk and House so I could really get my groove on! I've always loved an ecstatic dance but being barefoot in the cool grass and shakin' it under a clear evening sky truly took the cake. I left feeling so grounded and revitalized and I can't wait for the next one!" Ally

" I felt safe and comfortable to move my body in any way it wanted to. I really enjoyed the order and type of music. I felt like it was a great build up and I could feel my trapped emotions coming out. I felt so light afterwards and it’s really encouraged me to shake/move my body more often when I’m alone!!" SM

"I didn't know that I needed this. This really works!" CB
