OneBody Dance – A Community Dance Journey | Social Dance

Saturday dance ends at Noon (an hour and a half.) Community gathering until 12:30
OneBody Dance is a dance journey unique to every person who comes to dance with us. The music is curated to support giving yourself what you need in the moment and we encourage time for deep self inquiry of body, mind and spirit balanced with time to relish the sheer joy of the interplay of great music with high spirited movement and dance. As a community we are creating a sanctuary space that gives you permission to discover what you need in the moment and allow it time to develop. Together, we are intentionally creating a space where we can experience optimal nourishment and renewal with the healing power of dance.
All forms of dance are welcome: solo- interpersonal, partner, contact, floor and improv. We are a friendly group, and love to play, so you might be invited to join a twosome, threesome or even a whole group of us as we engage in nonverbal conversations in the dance. And with a simple bow or hands on the heart we will know to honor and respect your desire for undisturbed time for self inquiry.
We explore themes each month and a new altar with art and objects from nature is curated each time to provide visuals for that exploration. You will find a cozy nest of pillows provided for quiet reflection time when needed. If you are called to bring something to place as a blessing, offering or prayer on any given day it is always welcome.
We end with a gong and deep breath.
At the end of the dance we gather to talk. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to stay but it is not required. For those of us who stay, we find it to be a nourishing time to build deeper connections with our community members as we share our experiences of the dance.
