MOVEMENT IN TRUTH is a gently guided conscious dance practice, we experiment by moving in intimacy with ourselves and others. With deep listening, tenderness and care, we learn to move in truth, guided by the music and our own heart pull. Ever curious, feeling, opening, softening into the body, letting go to the ground, presencing. What is our true movement in the moment? Move & be moved, play & connect, rest & observe…the choice is yours. No experience needed, just an open heart, curiosity & willingness.

GUIDELINES
1. No talking – communicating through the body is welcome
2. No shoes on the dance floor, unless needed for support
3. No phones – please keep phones on silent
4. Mutual respect – please take responsibility for yourself and be mindful of others and their personal space.
5. No photographs –
NB. there may be a few photos/videos taken of the DJ/Facilitator and a few subtle shots of silhouetted dancers or feet. The aim is for dancers to not be identifiable in footage but to have something to capture the energy to use in promotions.
6. No drugs/alcohol – this is a clean, conscious space

The space

Three simple guidelines

Learn more about ecstatic dance
1

We dance barefoot

This allows us to connect more fully with the ground. Socks are OK, and dance shoes are fine if a physical condition calls for them.

2

We dance without words

This makes it easier to be in a meditative state. No verbal instruction from the facilitators, no talking from the dancers.

3

We dance sober, as we are

No drugs or alcohol, no phones or cameras, no scents. Just be yourself, with respect for ourselves, the space and one another.
