A pop-up movement workshop series in Hamilton. The vibe? No experience needed, just bring your curiousity and a willingness to move.
About this Event

Formerly known as move: Here&Now, our monthly nomadic workshop series is back with new name: Neighbourhood Moves.

We’ll be wandering around Hamilton, popping up in new places on the last Saturday of each month, from 2–4PM from October 2025 to March 2026! The vibe? No experience needed, just bring your curiousity and a willingness to move in and with the community!

Each workshop is guided by a different guest facilitator, offering unique perspectives and approaches to movement. Whether you identify as a dancer or not, there’s space for you here.

Why do we do this?
Because dance doesn’t belong to a select few. Because joy, expression, and embodiment are for everyone. Because we believe in disrupting the limiting norms of what dance is “supposed” to look like.

In this space, all bodies are dance bodies. Come move with your friendly neighbours!

What can I expect from each offering?

Each monthly offering dives into a different realm of movement; whether it's open choreography, Ecstatic dance, land-based practice, Kathak, creative play, or somatic movement, you can expect your movement prctice to expand and be enriched.

With care at the centre of everything we do, each workshop will include time to enjoy the communal space, with free snacks and refreshments!

October 25th | Open Choreography @ Studio Zee Pilates

🕑: 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
November 29th | Unbound: Dance & Release @ Ore Movement Studio
Host: LOR

Info: This workshop invites participants into a two-hour journey of embodied discovery through functional movement and free-form dance. Supported through a sonic landscape by DJ Savage Good, LOR will guide movers into practices that invite curiosity, care, and presence. Through gentle facilitation and an emphasis on the body's inherent wisdom, this workshop will encourage participants to move authentically, whether new to dance or experienced. Together we will explore dance and embodiment not as performance, but as a pathway to belonging, liberation, joy and connection.


🕑: 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
December 27th | Honouring Land through Movement Inspirations @ Cotton Factory
Host: Heryka Miranda

Info: This experiential workshop invites participants to connect with the heart of the sky and earth through breath, gentle movement, and improvisational dance, inspired by memories and stories held in the body from a land that holds personal significance. Together, we will explore the Seven Galactic Directions, embody the values of the Dish with One Spoon Treaty, and engage in a process of renewal through connection, movement, and shared experience.


🕑: 02:00 AM - 04:00 PM
January 31st | Kathak Workshop @ Magnolia Hall
Host: Priyanka Topé

Info: Description coming soon.


🕑: 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
February 28th | Movement Through Play @ Dundas Museum & Archives
Host: Jody Boston

Info: Movement Through Play invites people of all bodies and abilities to explore dance as a playful way to laugh, move, and connect. Led by therapeutic clown Jody Boston, this workshop uses games, improvisation, and comedic prompts to spark creativity, expression, and fun. Activities are guided by the group’s energy and each person’s needs—participants set the pace. No dance experience is necessary, just a willingness to move and play in your own way. The session concludes with a lighthearted group dance that celebrates creativity, laughter, and the joy of being ourselves together.


🕑: 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
March 28th | Grief & Gentle Movement @ TBA
Host: Allie Blumas

Info: This gentle movement and grief workshop offers a supportive space to explore grief as something tangible, approachable, and deeply human. By connecting more intentionally to the physical sensations of grief in our bodies, we begin to understand how we respond to and move through difficult times. Somatic simply means relating to the body, and how our emotions live and show up within it. When combined with gentle movement, it provides a conscious, compassionate, and non-intrusive way to engage with our internal experiences. Grounded in the ethos of arriving as you are and doing what you need, this workshop invites curiosity, presence, and self-trust.
