DESCRIPCION

x-dance Special | Celebrating Co-creation

What makes this particular class a bit out-of-the-ordinary is that we will explore, through the dance, how it feels to move without a clear leader or follower.

This class offers a unique opportunity to dance with no facilitator – I will be right there on the floor with you and we’ll dance to a mix I will pre-record before class.

For some of us, this might be a great experiment and for others, we might prefer the held container of a facilitated class. And, of course, in different moments, we might need different things.

Please check in with yourself to decide if an un-facilitated, completely group-held space calls you <3 And register if it does!

Flow

Doors open at 19.15 and close promptly at 19.45. Please note entry after 19.45 isn’t possible.

• Welcome + Introduction: After a guided warm-up through the body, we’ll have a general welcome and introduction to the theme for the evening before we go into the dance.
• Dance + Music: Let go of any preconceived notions you might have about dance. Unlike anything you’ve experienced before, there is no choreography or special moves in this space. The music is played in a form of a wave where the rhythms will rise to a crescendo and then gently fall – and you’ll get to discover how it feels to move to those beats, moment by moment. During the dance, you’ll be guided with some words of inspiration and invitations (never instructions) to enhance your experience.
• Take it Further, Gathering after class: Once the official dance is over, we open the space for all who want to stay and connect. There will be snacks, opportunities for exchange and spaces for quiet reflections, too.
• No phones: To allow for greatest spontaneity, creativity and freedom of expression, no phones on the dance floor.

What is x-dance

x-dance is an experiential lab for you who loves music, called into being beyond the thinking mind and curious to dance your very own raw expression.

As an experiential space, you’re invited to explore movement and expression as a creative outlet. As a lab, it’s also an opportunity to gently bump up against edges, break through patterns or try on new aspects of your-self. A lab for you to relish in your personal way of being – spontaneous, free, creative.
