About this Event
Come join us to dance outdoors on the stunning sands of Rodeo Beach for some dis-danced and safely masked mindful movement!
We will use silent disco headsets to dance a 5Rhythms conscious-dance class down by the edge of the Ocean.
There are no steps to learn and nothing to “get right”- just moving to the music and to gentle guidance delivered through the headsets. We use the dance to drop down in to the body (in a similar way that yoga does); supporting us to connect deeper- to ourselves, to others and to the wider natural world around us.
No previous dance experience is necessary, just a willingness to dive in and join the dance. We use the dance is a potent movement-based mindfulness practice. It’s a great way to enjoy ourselves, to exercise and to meditate- all in the same moment! Dancing in this way not only increase our physical agility and fitness; it also increases our authenticity, our emotional awareness and our effectiveness in the wider world as we become more embodied.
