Come join us to for a Winter Solstice Celebration -dancing outdoors through sunset at a stunning spot on the edge of the Bay.
We will use silent disco headsets to dance a conscious-dance class down by the edge of the water- taking time to mindfully mark a moment.
Winter is with us and the seasons are turning. It is good and right to mark this pause place between the year that has been and what will come next. In my birth-land of the Uk winter solstice was a feast day, a pause place, a celebration to lift us up in the dark days.
We will use silent disco kit to dance by the waters edge- we will seize the moment to get in some “nurtured by nature time"; to honour what was and dream into what will be.
So we will dance together, honouring sun, earth, elements and the shortest day; Letting more life into our lives. Embody and enjoying this one wild and precious life that we have. These days, more than ever it means a lot to me that we move mindfully through it all, that we mark moments, that we make lives that matter...
There are no steps to learn and nothing to “get right”- just moving to the music and to gentle guidance delivered through the headsets. We use the dance to drop down in to the body (in a similar way that yoga does); supporting us to connect deeper- to ourselves, to others and to the wider natural world around us.
No previous dance experience is necessary, just a willingness to dive in and join the dance. We use the dance is a potent movement-based mindfulness practice. It’s a great way to enjoy ourselves, to exercise and to meditate- all in the same moment! Dancing in this way not only increase our physical agility and fitness; it also increases our authenticity, our emotional awareness and our effectiveness in the wider world as we become more embodied.

It is important to me that we make time for mindful moments in our lives, to stop and celebrate amidst the relentless tides of time. To pause for pleasure, for reflection, for restoration... To dance as deliberate act of living fully and drinking in life deeply :)
These sunset dances bring me so much joy - all dancing togther as we move to the beats- looking out across the Bay :)

We actively seek to create a diverse community of dancers. We value and welcome diversity of racial and cultural identity and background, nationality, sexual and affectional orientation, gender identity and its expression, religious background and/or belief systems, marital status, family structure, educational and class status.
Be warmly welcomed to join us.
So looking forward to moving with you and seeing what wild goodness we can co-create.
