Register in advance for this class:
https://zoom.us/meeting/register/u50rcu6qqDwtlDXlj5no0cGBHDxH7Yhz6A
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the class.
What is an online class?
We will use Zoom, it can be accessed from a computer, iPad or iPhone. If you have a computer, choose that over the iPad or iPhone, not only will the sound be better but also you can interact more and see more of others.
At the beginning of the class time, click the Zoom Meeting ID (further down in this email)
This will take you to a window where each of us can see each other in a grid on the computer. This link takes you to a short video introduction to joining a Zoom Meeting: https://youtu.be/hIkCmbvAHQQ
The class time is 7.30–9.00pm.
Come at 7.15pm to settle in, especially if you are new to this technology to make sure your video and audio is working.
What do I need?
✧ You’ll need a computer, ipad or iphone, a good internet connection. If you have speakers, plug them in.
✧ Some space to dance. Clear a space, you might make it lovely with candles or artwork or whatever makes it feel welcoming for you. If you are in a shared space you might find a room to yourself so you can dive into your own dance unselfconsciously. Or invite your friends/family to join you.
✧ Minimise other distractions (doorbell / washing-up / notifications) so that you can be as present in the dance as possible.
✧ Wear comfy clothes to move in (yes, even pj’s!)
✧Perhaps bring some water or a cup of tea.
✧Perhaps bring a blanket to wrap yourself up after dancing. The last half an hour of the class will be check-in talking, bring something to keep warm.
How do I pay for this class?
If you can pay the normal cost for the class, £12¬–£16 then please do. Many of us are financially hard hit during this Pandemic. I’d rather you came and danced, however that would be possible for you. You to choose if or how much you pay. To pay, please paste this link into your browser:
paypal.me/SarahDanceDavies
What will happen?
We’ll begin with a short orientation to Zoom, to settle into the technology.
There will be a warm-up, an introduction to the dance and then we’ll go into the Wave: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. After dancing we’ll have check-in in small groups and we’ll be finished by 9.30pm.
Will it be recorded?
No, this is an in-the-moment event.
Can I invite someone who hasn’t come to the class but wants to dance?
Yes you can, all who want to dance are welcome, please forward them the registration link: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/u50rcu6qqDwtlDXlj5no0cGBHDxH7Yhz6A
I might be late, can I still join?
Please be there ontime. You can arrive 15 mins early, from 7.15pm so that we’re all ready by 7.30pm. Please stay to the end of the session if you can. Your presence really makes a difference.
I hope this will be a way we can continue to dance, connect and be creative in these unpredictable and unprecedented times.

Friday Mornings 9.15–11am
Cost: £14 on the door or £12 in advance
Arrive from 9am for the start of the class at 9.15am. Doors close at 9.30am.
What is an Open Floor class?
It’s dancing, it’s a way of practicing being embodied (learning to listen to ourselves) so it’s called a movement meditation (bringing our attention back to the body over and over again). We explore moving in a variety of ways, moving towards freedom, whatever that might mean for us, it can be quite intimate and personal, or wild and expansive, different for us at different times and each class will have its own particular flavour.
We’re practicing flexiblity of our whole selves, emotionally and soulfully as well as physically.
These are all drop-in classes. No need to book. Just come along.
Wear comfortable clothes to move in. Dance barefoot or in soft-soled shoes.

ReSource; we’re getting resourced, supported, aided. At this point in 2020 many of us are looking for ways to recover, reassess and realign ourselves, finding our place back in this ‘new normal’.
Looking at the word differently, re-source, the source, the beginning, the place of origin. My hunch is that this source is the place we do resource ourselves, nourish our souls, tend to our spirits, nurture our life force.
The Core Movement Resources that we utilise in Open Floor are: Activate & Settle, Centre, Dissolve, Expand & Contract, Ground, Pause, Release, Spatial Awareness, Towards & Away and Vector. Each of these movement resources can help us learn about our own embodiment as well as offering us tools to resource on the dancefloor and also in our daily lives.
In each hour and a half session there’ll be time for dancing (nearly an hour) and about 20 mins for resourcing, whatever that might be for anyone. It may be time for creativity, meditating, reading, resting. For each of us what is resourcing may look very different, it may be none of those things I’ve mentioned, an impulse might arise in the moment, perhaps inspired by the ‘Core Movement Resource’ of the week and the ability to really tune in to what you need after dancing. I will be showing some images and offering an idea for an art exercise for those that want to do that.
There will be a facebook group for the two groups, Wednesday and Thursday, to share what’s resourcing them over these ten weeks.
Dates: 16 / 17th September for 10 weeks until 18 / 19th November
There will be a limit on group size, a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 20 in each group, enough people to dance together and feel the support and inspiration of each other and time enough for group sharing.
Cost: £160 / Concessions & Open Floor Teachers £144
This is an ongoing group, your commitment to being there for as many of the ten weeks as you can is preferable. It is a closed group, once we start others won’t be joining, this helps to hold a clear container.
You don’t need to have any prior experience of movement to join this group, beginners welcome and also those with experience welcome.
These sessions will not be recorded, it’ll be live, in-the-moment. However the music will be recorded for you to access later should you wish, also the link imagery that Sarah shows will also be available to you.
What you get from joining this group:
-
Embodiment practice, from your own home, connected online
-
Each week a focus on one of the Core Movement Resources
-
Time to explore how you get resourced, nourished & replenished straight after dancing (using the dance as a gateway to nourishment)
-
A suggestion of an art exercise for those that want to do it
-
Link to the soundscape of the week to relisten at any time
-
Link to a resource document for each Core Movement Resource
-
The support of being in an ongoing group with other committed movers.
-
A private facebook group to show what is resourcing you and to be inspired by others

These sessions will not be recorded, it’ll be live, in-the-moment. However the music will be recorded for you to access later should you wish, also the link imagery that Sarah shows will also be available to you.
What you get from joining this group:
-
Embodiment practice, from your own home, connected online
-
Each week a focus on one of the Core Movement Resources
-
Time to explore how you get resourced, nourished & replenished straight after dancing (using the dance as a gateway to nourishment)

-
Link to the soundscape of the week to relisten at any time
-
Link to a resource document for each Core Movement Resource

ReSource; we’re getting resourced, supported, aided. At this point in 2020 many of us are looking for ways to recover, reassess and realign ourselves, finding our place back in this ‘new normal’.
Looking at the word differently, re-source, the source, the beginning, the place of origin. My hunch is that this source is the place we do resource ourselves, nourish our souls, tend to our spirits, nurture our life force.
The Core Movement Resources that we utilise in Open Floor are:
Activate & Settle, Centre, Dissolve, Expand & Contract, Ground, Pause, Release, Spatial Awareness, Towards & Away and Vector. Each of these movement resources can help us learn about our own embodiment as well as offering us tools to resource on the dancefloor and also in our daily lives.
In each hour and a half session there’ll be time for dancing (nearly an hour) and about 20 mins for resourcing, whatever that might be for anyone. It may be time for creativity, meditating, reading, resting. For each of us what is resourcing may look very different, it may be none of those things I’ve mentioned, an impulse might arise in the moment, perhaps inspired by the ‘Core Movement Resource’ of the week and the ability to really tune in to what you need after dancing. I will be showing some images and offering an idea for an art exercise for those that want to do that.
There will be a facebook group for the two groups, Wednesday and Thursday, to share what’s resourcing them over these ten weeks.
Dates: 17th September for 10 weeks until 19th November
There will be a limit on group size, a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 20 in each group, enough people to dance together and feel the support and inspiration of each other and time enough for group sharing.
Cost: £160 / Concessions & Open Floor Teachers £144
You don’t need to have any prior experience of movement to join this group, beginners welcome, also those with experience welcome.

Cost: £14 on the door or £12 in advance
Arrive from 9am for the start of the class at 9.15am. Doors close at 9.30am.
What is an Open Floor class?
It’s dancing, it’s a way of practicing being embodied (learning to listen to ourselves) so it’s called a movement meditation (bringing our attention back to the body over and over again). We explore moving in a variety of ways, moving towards freedom, whatever that might mean for us, it can be quite intimate and personal, or wild and expansive, different for us at different times and each class will have its own particular flavour.
We’re practicing flexiblity of our whole selves, emotionally and soulfully as well as physically.
These are all drop-in classes. No need to book. Just come along.
Wear comfortable clothes to move in. Dance barefoot or in soft-soled shoes.

Arrive from 9am for the start of the class at 9.15am. Doors close at 9.30am.
What is an Open Floor class?
It’s dancing, it’s a way of practicing being embodied (learning to listen to ourselves) so it’s called a movement meditation (bringing our attention back to the body over and over again). We explore moving in a variety of ways, moving towards freedom, whatever that might mean for us, it can be quite intimate and personal, or wild and expansive, different for us at different times and each class will have its own particular flavour.
We’re practicing flexiblity of our whole selves, emotionally and soulfully as well as physically.
These are all drop-in classes. No need to book. Just come along.
Wear comfortable clothes to move in. Dance barefoot or in soft-soled shoes.

ReSource; we’re getting resourced, supported, aided. At this point in 2020 many of us are looking for ways to recover, reassess and realign ourselves, finding our place back in this ‘new normal’.
Looking at the word differently, re-source, the source, the beginning, the place of origin. My hunch is that this source is the place we do resource ourselves, nourish our souls, tend to our spirits, nurture our life force.
The Core Movement Resources that we utilise in Open Floor are: Activate & Settle, Centre, Dissolve, Expand & Contract, Ground, Pause, Release, Spatial Awareness, Towards & Away and Vector. Each of these movement resources can help us learn about our own embodiment as well as offering us tools to resource on the dancefloor and also in our daily lives.
In each hour and a half session there’ll be time for dancing (nearly an hour) and about 20 mins for resourcing, whatever that might be for anyone. It may be time for creativity, meditating, reading, resting. For each of us what is resourcing may look very different, it may be none of those things I’ve mentioned, an impulse might arise in the moment, perhaps inspired by the ‘Core Movement Resource’ of the week and the ability to really tune in to what you need after dancing. I will be showing some images and offering an idea for an art exercise for those that want to do that.
There will be a facebook group for the two groups, Wednesday and Thursday, to share what’s resourcing them over these ten weeks.
Dates: 16 / 17th September for 10 weeks until 18 / 19th November
There will be a limit on group size, a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 20 in each group, enough people to dance together and feel the support and inspiration of each other and time enough for group sharing.
Cost: £160 / Concessions & Open Floor Teachers £144
This is an ongoing group, your commitment to being there for as many of the ten weeks as you can is preferable. It is a closed group, once we start others won’t be joining, this helps to hold a clear container.
You don’t need to have any prior experience of movement to join this group, beginners welcome and also those with experience welcome.
These sessions will not be recorded, it’ll be live, in-the-moment. However the music will be recorded for you to access later should you wish, also the link imagery that Sarah shows will also be available to you.

Event Details
“Libido is appetite in its natural state” Carl Jung
Libido is an essential part of our body’s natural expression. Complicated one moment, ecstatic the next. Absent or burdened with expectations of past experiences, this energy within and between us comes to the dance longing for freedom.
The intention in Open Floor Movement practice is to mindfully support our full embodiment. In one dance we may feel juicy, radiant and desirable while at other times we battle feeling awkward or shy. It is often challenging to navigate our own experiences and/or the sexual energies around us.
Libido Fundamentals investigates this complex and creative conundrum by using movement to ground, build and explore our sexual energy. We embrace a wider definition of Libido as life force, birth place of creativity, vitality, presence and aliveness. Because sexuality is so often unconsciously acted out or ignored, the exploration of this territory tends to be intense, intimate, liberating and empowering.
Participants can expect to spend each day engaging in mindful movement practice, group sharing and inquiry along with some didactic education. Nudity and actual genital contact are not a part of this workshop.
All genders and sexual orientations are welcome. Welcome solo or in relationship.
Please Note: at least 12 hours of Open Floor or other Conscious Dance Practice is required.

ReSource; we’re getting resourced, supported, aided. At this point in 2020 many of us are looking for ways to recover, reassess and realign ourselves, finding our place back in this ‘new normal’.
Looking at the word differently, re-source, the source, the beginning, the place of origin. My hunch is that this source is the place we do resource ourselves, nourish our souls, tend to our spirits, nurture our life force.
The Core Movement Resources that we utilise in Open Floor are: Activate & Settle, Centre, Dissolve, Expand & Contract, Ground, Pause, Release, Spatial Awareness, Towards & Away and Vector. Each of these movement resources can help us learn about our own embodiment as well as offering us tools to resource on the dancefloor and also in our daily lives.
In each hour and a half session there’ll be time for dancing (nearly an hour) and about 20 mins for resourcing, whatever that might be for anyone. It may be time for creativity, meditating, reading, resting. For each of us what is resourcing may look very different, it may be none of those things I’ve mentioned, an impulse might arise in the moment, perhaps inspired by the ‘Core Movement Resource’ of the week and the ability to really tune in to what you need after dancing. I will be showing some images and offering an idea for an art exercise for those that want to do that.
There will be a facebook group for the two groups, Wednesday and Thursday, to share what’s resourcing them over these ten weeks.
Dates: 16 / 17th September for 10 weeks until 18 / 19th November
There will be a limit on group size, a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 20 in each group, enough people to dance together and feel the support and inspiration of each other and time enough for group sharing.
Cost: £160 / Concessions & Open Floor Teachers £144
This is an ongoing group, your commitment to being there for as many of the ten weeks as you can is preferable. It is a closed group, once we start others won’t be joining, this helps to hold a clear container.
You don’t need to have any prior experience of movement to join this group, beginners welcome and also those with experience welcome.
These sessions will not be recorded, it’ll be live, in-the-moment. However the music will be recorded for you to access later should you wish, also the link imagery that Sarah shows will also be available to you.
What you get from joining this group:
-
Embodiment practice, from your own home, connected online
-
Each week a focus on one of the Core Movement Resources
-
Time to explore how you get resourced, nourished & replenished straight after dancing (using the dance as a gateway to nourishment)
-
A suggestion of an art exercise for those that want to do it
-
Link to the soundscape of the week to relisten at any time
-
Link to a resource document for each Core Movement Resource
-
The support of being in an ongoing group with other committed movers.
-
A private facebook group to show what is resourcing you and to be inspired by others

What is an Open Floor class?
It’s dancing, it’s a way of practicing being embodied (learning to listen to ourselves) so it’s called a movement meditation (bringing our attention back to the body over and over again). We explore moving in a variety of ways, moving towards freedom, whatever that might mean for us, it can be quite intimate and personal, or wild and expansive, different for us at different times and each class will have its own particular flavour.
We’re practicing flexiblity of our whole selves, emotionally and soulfully as well as physically.
These are all drop-in classes. No need to book. Just come along.
Wear comfortable clothes to move in. Dance barefoot or in soft-soled shoes.

What is an Open Floor class?
It’s dancing, it’s a way of practicing being embodied (learning to listen to ourselves) so it’s called a movement meditation (bringing our attention back to the body over and over again). We explore moving in a variety of ways, moving towards freedom, whatever that might mean for us, it can be quite intimate and personal, or wild and expansive, different for us at different times and each class will have its own particular flavour.

Event Details
Register in advance for this class:
https://zoom.us/meeting/register/u50rcu6qqDwtlDXlj5no0cGBHDxH7Yhz6A
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the class.
What is an online class?
We will use Zoom, it can be accessed from a computer, iPad or iPhone. If you have a computer, choose that over the iPad or iPhone, not only will the sound be better but also you can interact more and see more of others.
At the beginning of the class time, click the Zoom Meeting ID (further down in this email)
This will take you to a window where each of us can see each other in a grid on the computer. This link takes you to a short video introduction to joining a Zoom Meeting: https://youtu.be/hIkCmbvAHQQ
The class time is 7.30–9.00pm.
Come at 7.15pm to settle in, especially if you are new to this technology to make sure your video and audio is working.
What do I need?
✧ You’ll need a computer, ipad or iphone, a good internet connection. If you have speakers, plug them in.
✧ Some space to dance. Clear a space, you might make it lovely with candles or artwork or whatever makes it feel welcoming for you. If you are in a shared space you might find a room to yourself so you can dive into your own dance unselfconsciously. Or invite your friends/family to join you.
✧ Minimise other distractions (doorbell / washing-up / notifications) so that you can be as present in the dance as possible.
✧ Wear comfy clothes to move in (yes, even pj’s!)
✧Perhaps bring some water or a cup of tea.
✧Perhaps bring a blanket to wrap yourself up after dancing. The last half an hour of the class will be check-in talking, bring something to keep warm.
How do I pay for this class?
If you can pay the normal cost for the class, £12¬–£16 then please do. Many of us are financially hard hit during this Pandemic. I’d rather you came and danced, however that would be possible for you. You to choose if or how much you pay. To pay, please paste this link into your browser:
paypal.me/SarahDanceDavies
What will happen?
We’ll begin with a short orientation to Zoom, to settle into the technology.
There will be a warm-up, an introduction to the dance and then we’ll go into the Wave: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. After dancing we’ll have check-in in small groups and we’ll be finished by 9.30pm.
Will it be recorded?
No, this is an in-the-moment event.
Can I invite someone who hasn’t come to the class but wants to dance?
Yes you can, all who want to dance are welcome, please forward them the registration link: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/u50rcu6qqDwtlDXlj5no0cGBHDxH7Yhz6A
I might be late, can I still join?
Please be there ontime. You can arrive 15 mins early, from 7.15pm so that we’re all ready by 7.30pm. Please stay to the end of the session if you can. Your presence really makes a difference.
I hope this will be a way we can continue to dance, connect and be creative in these unpredictable and unprecedented times.

ReSource; we’re getting resourced, supported, aided. At this point in 2020 many of us are looking for ways to recover, reassess and realign ourselves, finding our place back in this ‘new normal’.
Looking at the word differently, re-source, the source, the beginning, the place of origin. My hunch is that this source is the place we do resource ourselves, nourish our souls, tend to our spirits, nurture our life force.
The Core Movement Resources that we utilise in Open Floor are: Activate & Settle, Centre, Dissolve, Expand & Contract, Ground, Pause, Release, Spatial Awareness, Towards & Away and Vector. Each of these movement resources can help us learn about our own embodiment as well as offering us tools to resource on the dancefloor and also in our daily lives.
In each hour and a half session there’ll be time for dancing (nearly an hour) and about 20 mins for resourcing, whatever that might be for anyone. It may be time for creativity, meditating, reading, resting. For each of us what is resourcing may look very different, it may be none of those things I’ve mentioned, an impulse might arise in the moment, perhaps inspired by the ‘Core Movement Resource’ of the week and the ability to really tune in to what you need after dancing. I will be showing some images and offering an idea for an art exercise for those that want to do that.
There will be a facebook group for the two groups, Wednesday and Thursday, to share what’s resourcing them over these ten weeks.
Dates: 16 / 17th September for 10 weeks until 18 / 19th November
There will be a limit on group size, a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 20 in each group, enough people to dance together and feel the support and inspiration of each other and time enough for group sharing.
Cost: £160 / Concessions & Open Floor Teachers £144
This is an ongoing group, your commitment to being there for as many of the ten weeks as you can is preferable. It is a closed group, once we start others won’t be joining, this helps to hold a clear container.
You don’t need to have any prior experience of movement to join this group, beginners welcome and also those with experience welcome.
These sessions will not be recorded, it’ll be live, in-the-moment. However the music will be recorded for you to access later should you wish, also the link imagery that Sarah shows will also be available to you.
What you get from joining this group:
-
Embodiment practice, from your own home, connected online
-
Each week a focus on one of the Core Movement Resources
-
Time to explore how you get resourced, nourished & replenished straight after dancing (using the dance as a gateway to nourishment)
-
A suggestion of an art exercise for those that want to do it
-
Link to the soundscape of the week to relisten at any time
-
Link to a resource document for each Core Movement Resource
-
The support of being in an ongoing group with other committed movers.
-
A private facebook group to show what is resourcing you and to be inspired by others

There will be a facebook group for the two groups, Wednesday and Thursday, to share what’s resourcing them over these ten weeks.
Dates: 16 / 17th September for 10 weeks until 18 / 19th November
There will be a limit on group size, a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 20 in each group, enough people to dance together and feel the support and inspiration of each other and time enough for group sharing.
Cost: £160 / Concessions & Open Floor Teachers £144
This is an ongoing group, your commitment to being there for as many of the ten weeks as you can is preferable. It is a closed group, once we start others won’t be joining, this helps to hold a clear container.
You don’t need to have any prior experience of movement to join this group, beginners welcome and also those with experience welcome.
These sessions will not be recorded, it’ll be live, in-the-moment. However the music will be recorded for you to access later should you wish, also the link imagery that Sarah shows will also be available to you.
What you get from joining this group:
-
Embodiment practice, from your own home, connected online
-
Each week a focus on one of the Core Movement Resources
-
Time to explore how you get resourced, nourished & replenished straight after dancing (using the dance as a gateway to nourishment)
-
A suggestion of an art exercise for those that want to do it
-
Link to the soundscape of the week to relisten at any time
-
Link to a resource document for each Core Movement Resource
-
The support of being in an ongoing group with other committed movers.
-
A private facebook group to show what is resourcing you and to be inspired by others

ReSource; we’re getting resourced, supported, aided. At this point in 2020 many of us are looking for ways to recover, reassess and realign ourselves, finding our place back in this ‘new normal’.
Looking at the word differently, re-source, the source, the beginning, the place of origin. My hunch is that this source is the place we do resource ourselves, nourish our souls, tend to our spirits, nurture our life force.
The Core Movement Resources that we utilise in Open Floor are:
Activate & Settle, Centre, Dissolve, Expand & Contract, Ground, Pause, Release, Spatial Awareness, Towards & Away and Vector. Each of these movement resources can help us learn about our own embodiment as well as offering us tools to resource on the dancefloor and also in our daily lives.
In each hour and a half session there’ll be time for dancing (nearly an hour) and about 20 mins for resourcing, whatever that might be for anyone. It may be time for creativity, meditating, reading, resting. For each of us what is resourcing may look very different, it may be none of those things I’ve mentioned, an impulse might arise in the moment, perhaps inspired by the ‘Core Movement Resource’ of the week and the ability to really tune in to what you need after dancing.

Friday Mornings 9.15–11am
Cost: £14 on the door or £12 in advance
Arrive from 9am for the start of the class at 9.15am. Doors close at 9.30am.
What is an Open Floor class?
It’s dancing, it’s a way of practicing being embodied (learning to listen to ourselves) so it’s called a movement meditation (bringing our attention back to the body over and over again). We explore moving in a variety of ways, moving towards freedom, whatever that might mean for us, it can be quite intimate and personal, or wild and expansive, different for us at different times and each class will have its own particular flavour.
We’re practicing flexiblity of our whole selves, emotionally and soulfully as well as physically.
These are all drop-in classes. No need to book. Just come along.
Wear comfortable clothes to move in. Dance barefoot or in soft-soled shoes.

We explore moving in a variety of ways, moving towards freedom, whatever that might mean for us, it can be quite intimate and personal, or wild and expansive, different for us at different times and each class will have its own particular flavour.
We’re practicing flexiblity of our whole selves, emotionally and soulfully as well as physically.
These are all drop-in classes. No need to book. Just come along.
Wear comfortable clothes to move in. Dance barefoot or in soft-soled shoes.

ReSource; we’re getting resourced, supported, aided. At this point in 2020 many of us are looking for ways to recover, reassess and realign ourselves, finding our place back in this ‘new normal’.
Looking at the word differently, re-source, the source, the beginning, the place of origin. My hunch is that this source is the place we do resource ourselves, nourish our souls, tend to our spirits, nurture our life force.
The Core Movement Resources that we utilise in Open Floor are: Activate & Settle, Centre, Dissolve, Expand & Contract, Ground, Pause, Release, Spatial Awareness, Towards & Away and Vector. Each of these movement resources can help us learn about our own embodiment as well as offering us tools to resource on the dancefloor and also in our daily lives.
In each hour and a half session there’ll be time for dancing (nearly an hour) and about 20 mins for resourcing, whatever that might be for anyone. It may be time for creativity, meditating, reading, resting. For each of us what is resourcing may look very different, it may be none of those things I’ve mentioned, an impulse might arise in the moment, perhaps inspired by the ‘Core Movement Resource’ of the week and the ability to really tune in to what you need after dancing. I will be showing some images and offering an idea for an art exercise for those that want to do that.
There will be a facebook group for the two groups, Wednesday and Thursday, to share what’s resourcing them over these ten weeks.
Dates: 16 / 17th September for 10 weeks until 18 / 19th November
There will be a limit on group size, a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 20 in each group, enough people to dance together and feel the support and inspiration of each other and time enough for group sharing.
Cost: £160 / Concessions & Open Floor Teachers £144
This is an ongoing group, your commitment to being there for as many of the ten weeks as you can is preferable. It is a closed group, once we start others won’t be joining, this helps to hold a clear container.
You don’t need to have any prior experience of movement to join this group, beginners welcome and also those with experience welcome.
These sessions will not be recorded, it’ll be live, in-the-moment. However the music will be recorded for you to access later should you wish, also the link imagery that Sarah shows will also be available to you.
What you get from joining this group:
-
Embodiment practice, from your own home, connected online
-
Each week a focus on one of the Core Movement Resources
-
Time to explore how you get resourced, nourished & replenished straight after dancing (using the dance as a gateway to nourishment)
-
A suggestion of an art exercise for those that want to do it
-
Link to the soundscape of the week to relisten at any time
-
Link to a resource document for each Core Movement Resource
-
The support of being in an ongoing group with other committed movers.

What is an Open Floor class?
It’s dancing, it’s a way of practicing being embodied (learning to listen to ourselves) so it’s called a movement meditation (bringing our attention back to the body over and over again). We explore moving in a variety of ways, moving towards freedom, whatever that might mean for us, it can be quite intimate and personal, or wild and expansive, different for us at different times and each class will have its own particular flavour.
We’re practicing flexiblity of our whole selves, emotionally and soulfully as well as physically.

Event Details
“Libido is appetite in its natural state” Carl Jung
Libido is an essential part of our body’s natural expression. Complicated one moment, ecstatic the next. Absent or burdened with expectations of past experiences, this energy within and between us comes to the dance longing for freedom.
The intention in Open Floor Movement practice is to mindfully support our full embodiment. In one dance we may feel juicy, radiant and desirable while at other times we battle feeling awkward or shy. It is often challenging to navigate our own experiences and/or the sexual energies around us.
Libido Fundamentals investigates this complex and creative conundrum by using movement to ground, build and explore our sexual energy. We embrace a wider definition of Libido as life force, birth place of creativity, vitality, presence and aliveness. Because sexuality is so often unconsciously acted out or ignored, the exploration of this territory tends to be intense, intimate, liberating and empowering.
Participants can expect to spend each day engaging in mindful movement practice, group sharing and inquiry along with some didactic education. Nudity and actual genital contact are not a part of this workshop.
All genders and sexual orientations are welcome. Welcome solo or in relationship.
Please Note: at least 12 hours of Open Floor or other Conscious Dance Practice is required.

This is an ongoing group, your commitment to being there for as many of the ten weeks as you can is preferable. It is a closed group, once we start others won’t be joining, this helps to hold a clear container.
You don’t need to have any prior experience of movement to join this group, beginners welcome and also those with experience welcome.
These sessions will not be recorded, it’ll be live, in-the-moment. However the music will be recorded for you to access later should you wish, also the link imagery that Sarah shows will also be available to you.
What you get from joining this group:
-
Embodiment practice, from your own home, connected online
-
Each week a focus on one of the Core Movement Resources
-
Time to explore how you get resourced, nourished & replenished straight after dancing (using the dance as a gateway to nourishment)
-
A suggestion of an art exercise for those that want to do it
-
Link to the soundscape of the week to relisten at any time
-
Link to a resource document for each Core Movement Resource
-
The support of being in an ongoing group with other committed movers.
-
A private facebook group to show what is resourcing you and to be inspired by others

ReSource; we’re getting resourced, supported, aided. At this point in 2020 many of us are looking for ways to recover, reassess and realign ourselves, finding our place back in this ‘new normal’.
Looking at the word differently, re-source, the source, the beginning, the place of origin. My hunch is that this source is the place we do resource ourselves, nourish our souls, tend to our spirits, nurture our life force.
The Core Movement Resources that we utilise in Open Floor are:
Activate & Settle, Centre, Dissolve, Expand & Contract, Ground, Pause, Release, Spatial Awareness, Towards & Away and Vector. Each of these movement resources can help us learn about our own embodiment as well as offering us tools to resource on the dancefloor and also in our daily lives.
In each hour and a half session there’ll be time for dancing (nearly an hour) and about 20 mins for resourcing, whatever that might be for anyone. It may be time for creativity, meditating, reading, resting. For each of us what is resourcing may look very different, it may be none of those things I’ve mentioned, an impulse might arise in the moment, perhaps inspired by the ‘Core Movement Resource’ of the week and the ability to really tune in to what you need after dancing. I will be showing some images and offering an idea for an art exercise for those that want to do that.
There will be a facebook group for the two groups, Wednesday and Thursday, to share what’s resourcing them over these ten weeks.
Dates: 17th September for 10 weeks until 19th November

Arrive from 9am for the start of the class at 9.15am. Doors close at 9.30am.
What is an Open Floor class?
It’s dancing, it’s a way of practicing being embodied (learning to listen to ourselves) so it’s called a movement meditation (bringing our attention back to the body over and over again). We explore moving in a variety of ways, moving towards freedom, whatever that might mean for us, it can be quite intimate and personal, or wild and expansive, different for us at different times and each class will have its own particular flavour.
We’re practicing flexiblity of our whole selves, emotionally and soulfully as well as physically.
These are all drop-in classes. No need to book. Just come along.
Wear comfortable clothes to move in. Dance barefoot or in soft-soled shoes.
