Integral Dance: Conscious Movement & Somatic Arts

Integral Dance is a holistic practice that brings together core movement principles, heart-centered gesture, and deep somatic awareness. On the dance floor we experience gratitude, humility, moving like water, and embracing both subtlety and intensity with our movement expressions. This class embraces an integral “whole person” approach to dance practice with each session being a journey through the terrain of the body, mind, and heart. We open the practice with embodied rituals infused with intention and meaning, then progress to core movement essentials that explore healthy alignment, core strength, spinal fluidity, release, and focused breath practices. Dance sequences are interspersed with improvisational moments and play. Integral dances are inspired by the movement of circles, spirals, and the cycles that we find within the physical, energetic, and universal body.
