SBDC Community Dance Class May-June 2026

Swan Bay Dance Collective is a new project creating opportunities for enjoying dance on the Bellarine.

Our first offering, Community Dance Class, is an open class on Saturday mornings, for adults at any level of experience.

These classes:

• share the foundational practices of dance: playing with weight, space & rhythm

• meet you where you are, with movement invitations you can adapt to your body's needs

• create a friendly space to explore the elements of dance improvisation & composition

• are based in embodied anatomy for more easeful, expressive movement

This is not about learning a particular style of dance, or learning complicated steps. It is about exploring your own movement as a kind of thinking and relating with your world. It's about being present and committed to the simplest movements, about learning from each other, and connecting with yourself and others through shared movement in a fun, nonjudgmental environment.

Have two or more left feet? Excellent - let's see how they move!

Saturday mornings 10:30-12

Term 2: May 9th - June 20th (no class June 6th holiday weekend)

Introductory special:

7 classes $140

Drop-in single classes $25
