SOMATIC DANCE CONVENTION 2026

THIS YEAR'S THEME: 🚀 THE NEURO-VERSE 🚀
A Two-Room "Summit" Flow: Dance, Embodiment, & Transformation

Welcome to the second year of the UK’s premier Somatic experience! This year, we journey into the Neuro-Verse, an expansive, futuristic landscape where we celebrate internal experience over external appearance. This is a sanctuary for Bio-Intelligence, where every rhythm is the right rhythm and every nervous system is a map to the Spirit.

Location: Richmix, Shoreditch, London
Date: 19 April 2026
Time: 12:30 PM – 9:00 PM

Registration / Check-In:

• Opens at 12:30 PM
• VIP & General ticket holders receive wristbands and goodie bags
• Staff available for guidance, questions, and accessibility needs

From the moment you arrive, you are no longer a spectator; you are an explorer.

The Neuro-Verse is for movers, dancers, creatives, therapists, seekers, and curious Souls. No dance experience required.
Here, every rhythm is valid, every body is honored, and regulation matters more than perfection.

Navigate your own coordinates. Move freely between rooms; there is no wrong path, only what your nervous system calls for.

12:30 PM | Arrival & Neural Grounding
A shared opening to land, regulate, and synchronise our collective nervous systems.
