Intuitive
Dance Journey
No experience needed. All are welcome. Substance Free. Sober Space.
What is a Dance Journey?
This is a free-form community dance space that invites you to move freely and in your own way - because how wonderful is that!
There are no moves to learn.
This is for anyone who wants to move: it’s a movement.
No choreography.
There is gentle facilitation as we can awaken the body, and release tension as we dance and move to music.
We always begin and end with grounding.
This is for: people who want to move more, for ravers of time passed, for new conscious dancers, for those who don’t drink, for those who haven’t danced without drink. For those who need to shake it all off. This is for you.

Dance Journey is inspired by both my background as a Dramatherapist (MA) and additional training (currently in training) in Chakra Dancing and Creative Meditation. This is a mesh between both practices finding the wonders in how movement and dance can lead to not only a sense of fun and enjoyment, but can support physical and mental wellbeing.
Dramatherapy influences: Through embodiment, and somatic expressive movement this can lead to a feeling of self-expression, catharsis and reduced stress.
Chakra Dancing & Creative Meditation influences: This further mirrors the experiences of empowerment, and liberation. However through this influences, and set music tuned to each chakra frequency, it’s methodology hopes to balance energy centres through the body, and stimulating the natural flow of energy.
Influences:
Each dance is a shared space. We co-create a safe, and judgment-free environment together. This means:
This is a sober space. No substances including no alcohol or drugs.
Listen to your body and make choices that keep your experience right for you.
Full body expression is welcome, from stillness, to subtle to expansive.
Keep focused on your own journey - move and express, or witness others with loving awareness.
If you and someone want to dance together you both have to consent. If they do not want to dance, move away. If you do not want to dance with someone make it clear, and move away.
Rules:
The body tells stories that words cannot always reach. Through movement, we give those stories space and breathe.
Intuitive Dance Journey practice offers a supportive space to release tension, awaken the body, and reconnect with your natural rhythm.
It is guided gently and facilitated.
This practice is open to all, beginner-friendly and accessible, with no prior experience needed.
The focus is on listening to your body, moving with curiosity, and supporting a deeper sense of grounding, presence, and wellbeing.
Great for increasing mobility and general fitness.
