Ok so yes I’m going to start talking about nervous systems. Because we’re all struggling and I feel like I’ve got some important codes to share.
And that code is dancing! Freely, with gay abandon, as big or as little as you like. 🌿
We’re doing an early morning Wild Bop session at St Ann’s Well Gardens in Hove - and did you know that this park sits on an ancient ley line and has been a place of healing and restoration for centuries? People have been coming to this very spot to restore their wellbeing since the 1700s. We’re going to dance on it. ✨
Monday 6th July, 6.30-7.15am
We’ll start with a gentle warm up, move into completely free dancing with silent disco headsets (thank you ) with a carefully curated setlist taking you on a journey , then come back down with some meditation music and a lie down on the grass (oooh). Bring a yoga mat. It’s going to be lush. 🌿
No routines. No right or wrong. Close your eyes if you like , feel the earth, focus on the trees, just DANCE.
I know it’s wildly early - but that’s exactly the beauty of it. Reset, heal and inject some joy before your day has even begun.
Who’s in?! 🌿✨ Link in bio to book (booking essential as need to account for headsets!) . Questions very welcome!

Boom! 🌿
We’re going to be doing some nervous system resetting, aka free dancing, aka Joybop Ecstatic, on Tuesdays at 6:30am on Zoom. Some of these kind of vibes. We do what we feel.
The playlist will be carefully curated for the most delightful, uplifting journey.
20 minutes of free ecstatic dance to start your day. No steps, no rules, just music and free movement.
Sliding scale, including free for financial hardship.

We’re on the hunt for a new dance space! 🏠✨
Dreaming of a space with an indoor dance floor AND outdoor space for those sunny sessions.
Something we can use for early morning AND evening classes in Brighton/Hove with silent disco headsets 🎧
Any suggestions? Drop it in the comments or message direct 🙏🏼💕

Oooh yes, look at these first few gorgeous pics of our wild and windy bandstand sesh, taken by the wonderful 🫶
We danced in 45mph winds on that bandstand and we did not stop. Massive well done to Sarah 📸 who absolutely braved the elements with us, and a huge thank you to everyone who came and gave it their all. Big love to Tor at too for the headsets. 🙌
That first pic captures the moment we were in circle holding onto each other to Lauryn Hill… there were a whole load of open hearts and a few tears at that point (def from me anyways..!)
In other news, we were supposed to be dancing tonight at Queen’s Park but we’ve been rained off (it’s currently sunny, I know, but the grass is soggy and more rain is coming ok 😬). We’ve moved to next Wednesday instead.
But we will be doing so much more dancing, so much more often, with headsets, without headsets, outside, inside, all of it. Keep putting the good in so we can give it out, so we can spread love and kindness ya 🌿 Because the world needs it right now.

Hi loves 👋 just popping up to remind you what we’re all about and what’s on this week…
MumRave / JoyBop is music-led, joyful movement with big tunes, simple routines you just follow along to, and no pressure to get it ‘right’. You just need a bod and a willingness to move it (even if that body is currently doing something weird with its hormones).
I started MumRave because mums needed somewhere to go and be a bit feral and free. But you absolutely do not need to be a mum to come. Mum, not a mum, done with being called a mum, never wanted to be a mum, mum to fur babies only - all of it, all welcome.
On the deckchairs that’s me Tess and the wonderful Leanne, our Tuesday class queen and partner in chaos.
🎧 This week - Queen’s Park outdoor special, Wednesday 10th 7-8pm- Silent disco headsets from Hush Beats Disco, fresh air and big tunes. Come join us, and bring someone new!
✨ 3 classes for £20 for newbies ✨
Classes run:
• Monday - Shoreham JoyBop, 7.45pm, The Shoreham Centre
• Tuesday - Patcham JoyBop, 7.45pm (memorial hall)
• Friday - 10.15am, Hove lagoon
Online options available too 💻
Booking here 👇

Hope to see some of you this week 💃🕺
Ps. Don’t let the deckchairs fool you, we work very hard. Sometimes.
Ok everyone’s going mad for this on me stories so though f**k it I’m gonna pop it up for you all to laugh with (at?!) me… you’re welcome.
We went ahead with our silent disco Joybop sesh at the bandstand in a bloody storm.. there was a guy having a physical fight below us, we got turned out for a salsa class halfway through that didn’t materialise (they knew better than to brave this weather…!) and this is what my hair looked like throughout apparently so I can’t wait to see what has got from it..!
Ok but apart from all of that absurd chaos it was soooo dam good..! We laughed , we cried and we danced like mad. Thank you everyone that came you were full of this most wonderful energy and joy and really went with the punches (is that the phrase?) Phewy what a wonderful wild ride.. more of that please..! 🙌😝❤️
Oh and that last pic is Leanne at the pub after she’s just ordered a drink wishing she’d checked herself first! 🤣
Ps. Thanks for the fab kit.
