Ancestral Bones- A Somatic Dance Journey

Be a part of East Gippsland's first Conscious Dance Community, where movement becomes medicine and join us for Ancestral Bones - a foot-stomping, bone-rattling somatic dance to remember the wisdom of your ancestors and dance with all those who came before you.

This is an invitation to come and journey back in time. To remember that you are more than just the person that you walk through the world as today. You hold the DNA of all those that came before you, and as you anchor down into your bones, you will remember them, and you will dance with them.

No experience needed — come exactly as you are.

What is Somatic Dance?

Somatic Dance is a style of conscious dance. A free-form, intuitive movement practice — a space to move from the inside out, without choreography, performance, or judgement.

It's a sober space, free from drugs and alcohol, where you're invited to express yourself fully through movement — to listen to your body, follow sensation, and let your dance be entirely your own.

There are no steps to learn and no right way to move. Only an invitation to feel, and to let what's true in you find its way out through the body. Every cue is optional, and all of you is welcome.

We dance to feel, not to perform.

House agreements for the space will be shared during the introduction.
