Comfortable clothes you can move in. Dancing is barefoot on our beautiful Tarkett floor — though supportive shoes or socks are welcome if you need them. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. There are no rules here, just movement.

Do I need dance experience?

None. There's no right way to move — no steps, no choreography. Big or small, every movement is welcome. You can even lie on the floor and be still if that's what you need.

We keep the dance floor chat-free so everyone can stay present in their body and the experience. If you need to talk, there's space just outside.

Level 2, Rehearsal Room 2 — City of Sydney Creative Studios, just 50m from Town Hall Station. Wheelchair accessible with easy public transport access.

Can I pay at the door?

Yes if not sold out — cash or PayID accepted.

The Invitation

Join Taline for an evening of free-form dance — a space to let go, release what you're carrying, and let your body lead.

No steps. No judgment. Just you, your body, and a uniquely curated soundtrack.

We move together — grounding, building energy, then settling into stillness. Multi-genre, multi-journey: electronic, acoustic, psychedelic, disco, meditative, soulful, trance. Every track takes you somewhere new.

This is Soul Dance — Embodied.

I felt better than I have in a long time. My whole body felt lighter and I was buzzing. It was electric, pure energy.

Andrea A
I haven't danced like I did in years! I felt lighter, I felt connected and I felt so grateful to have been a part of it!

Karina Sindicich
Taline creates a space that feels so safe, fun and free to just re-centre and ground yourself back into your body. Afterwards I felt so energised, present and light. I would recommend this to anyone!

View profile

Taline is a somatic movement facilitator, DJ, musician, vocalist, and curator of embodied experience — with nearly 28 years of work at the intersection of music, movement, and healing.

Her practice began in 1998, teaching music and movement to young children — already weaving together sound, body awareness, Brain Gym and kinesiology long before she had the clinical language for it. From there her work expanded into children's hospitals, conscious dance events, music education, vocal performance, and over two decades of radio — all of it circling the same question: how do we use music, voice and movement to help people feel more at home in their bodies?

She is currently completing her Graduate Diploma in Somatics and Dance Movement Therapy, bringing clinical depth and therapeutic rigour to a practice that has always been instinctively body-led. Her facilitation style is warm, musically alive, and somatically grounded — informed equally by her training and by nearly three decades of holding space for people in wildly different contexts.

Taline is the founder of Soul Dance, a conscious dance and music event in Sydney, and the host of Moodswing on Eastside Radio — a show she has been curating since 2000. She is also a long-term Captain Starlight performer at a children's hospital, bringing joy and presence to sick children and their families.

Her therapeutic somatic movement work creates spaces where people feel safe enough to arrive fully in their bodies — through music, guided movement, and the intelligence of the body itself.
