What is Organic Dance?
At last, a way of dancing that frees the soul, liberates the body, quietens the mind and puts you in touch with your natural rhythm. Whether you're a lounge-room dancer or an extra from the set of Flashdance, Organic Dance will integrate your mind, body and soul. Think of it as 'the yoga of dance'.
Organic Dance explores dance as a way of prayer or meditation, as a modality to heal and release blocked emotions. Through Organic Dance, you can re-connect to the very source of who you are, with others, and the experience of something much bigger than us all.
Organic Dance - flow with Nature and her rhythms and seasons; discover their connection with the human psyche and our own internal rhythms. Nature's seasonal cycles and rhythms affect human emotions and hormones. By dancing at these peak times, the dancer harmonizes his/her own inner body rhythms with those of Nature.
Everything in life - nature, the seasons, the sun, the moon and cosmos - is essentially guided by rhythm. Your body and organs have their own pulsation. When you dance the rhythms of your own life, you are connecting back to your own innate nature, to this earth and the bigger mystery that guides this planet.
DID YOU KNOW?... that all living things keep their internal body clocks synchronized in part to tiny electromagnetic fields in the earth - fields that shift and change with our planet's daily and yearly cycles according to the Sun and Moon. The human body is governed by dozens of these cycles.
Cut off from its healing and esoteric roots, Western culture has reduced dance to a form of entertainment, a way to socialise or attract a partner. Organic Dance is an ecstatic experience, a way to pray and meditate; to evoke visionary experiences and healing; to offer guidance on issues we face in day-to-day life; to release emotional blockages and/or to connect with spirit or nature, in a fun, freely expressive way.
It is Dance as a symbolic language of the psyche that can initiate healing, through active rhythmic meditation and movement.
Since ancient times, dance has been revered for its power to heal body, mind and spirit, strengthen the bonds of community, and commune with spirit. Over the past decade, these ancient understandings of dance are appearing again all over the world, like the tribal soul within being awakened.
Organic Dance, in conjunction with more traditional therapies, such as counselling, can increase the transformational experience. It greatly enhances an individual’s release of trauma and emotional blocks.
Organic Dance is not about learning choreography. It's about tapping into your own personal & creative style of physical movement and dance. Organic Dance allows you to express your authentic self.
Organic Dance offers classes that guide you to draw on your own internal awareness,
allowing you to channel feelings, thoughts, emotion and energy externally to
create your own dance. There are also free-form ecstatic dance classes (minimal facilitation).
To help entice your own authentic movement and release, you are guided
