Brand New Offerings for February

I'm trying out two new offerings for February to give people more dance options. The Unconditional Dance is a version of the Barefoot Boogie which many here in Ottawa will remember. It is improvised movement, practiced barefoot, with no conditions! You can use this time to strengthen whatever movement practices you currently have, to let loose, express your creativity, or just simply be. The Mindful Motion practice will be a movement practice with lots of room to breathe and self express. An opportunity to deeply examine our selves and our relationships to our outside world through movement.

Unconditional Dance
Also known as Barefoot Boogie. Short & sweet warmup followed by freedancing. Dj'ing by brian. Sun. Feb. 6th, 201 5:00 - 7:30 pm Arts Court, Studio B, 2 Daly Avenue, $10.

Mindful Motion - Conscious Ecstatic Dance
Offering a sanctuary for participants to practice the art of moving mindfully. With eyes wide open we explore our connections to self, other and community. Improvised movement with gentle inspiring guidance. Discover how the simple act of paying attention can elevate the ordinary to extraordinary. Nothing fancy, nothing forced. This class is an opportunity to delve deeply into movement as a practice. Welcoming all souls, regardless of movement or dance experience, with deep respect for each person that graces us by their simple presence. Honest facilitation by dodie & solid DJ'ing by brian. Sun. Feb. 27th, 201 4:30 - 7:00 pm Arts Court , Studio B, 2 Daly Avenue, $17.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Wishing all beings peace, love, ease & well being. I posted some new dance dates which you can view by clicking  "Upcoming Events" on the menu bar above.  Also look out for a new class which I'm giving the working title of Mindful Movement - The Practice. It will be a longer class, very gentle on instruction to allow for greater freedom for play and creative exploration. Dates for this new class to announced.
