Wellington Somatic Dance Collective

Kia ora everyone 💛

Sadly, our May dance gathering has been cancelled due to circumstances outside of our control. We know many of you were looking forward to moving together - so we hope your feet find their way to other dance spaces this month!

This was also going to be our final dance before winter, as I (Fiona) head over to the UK for a few months ✈️

While we won’t be gathering on a Saturday morning this month, we want to thank you all for being part of this beautiful community of movement, music, expression, and connection.

Keep dancing in your kitchens, lounges, gardens, and wherever your body feels free 💃✨

And when the next dance returns… we’ll be in touch as always!!!

With love,
Fiona & Julie

4 MORE DAYS UNTIL WE DANCE 🥰

Somatic Dance Wellington ~ Fluid Web FLUID WEB - Saturday Morning Dance Hosted by Wellington Somatic Dance Collective

A reminder that our next Somatic Dance is happening on Saturday 21st March, and we would love to move with you.

Are you new to somatic dance?
We would LOVE for you to join :D

We know the vulnerability of stepping into a space like this for the first time. Many of us have stood at that same threshold... unsure of what to expect, wondering if we’ll “do it right”.

This is your invitation to follow the curiosity!

This space is fully invitational. There is no expectation of how you should move, how much you should move, or what your experience should look like. Your pace your expression, your edges are all welcome here.

As facilitators (Fiona & Julie) we are here to hold the space with care, so you can explore in a way that feels supportive and safe for your body.

✨ Come as you are.

~ Saturday 21st March
~ 10am – 11.30am
~ Te Whaea National Dance and Drama Centre, Newtown
~ Limited spaces available
~ No door sales – please purchase a ticket via Humanitix: https://events.humanitix.com/somatic-dance-wellington-descent-an-autumn-equinox-ritual

With love,

Life is not something outside of us.
It is a force that moves through us
a current without rigidity, without straight lines, without the constraints the mind tries to place upon it.

Tomorrow night, we remember the shape of that force.
How it breathes itself into the world through us.
How it feels as sensation, texture, impulse, and movement.

We can’t wait to share this space with you.

With love,

WSDC

~A heart-pumping thank you 🫶🏽 to everyone who joined us for June's dance- Being Breathed 🌬️

Your presence, your breath, your bravery to explore and express… it's what made this 10th and final dance of the season a celebratory statement of the time we've shared so far. ✨

With 38 bodies each breathing to their own rhythms, we shared our biggest dance yet- a woven tapestry of personal power, and playful interconnectedness. 🕺🏻🎶

It was a heart-tugging and soul-nourishing send off ✈️🌏 for Christina who is beyond grateful for the opportunity to help nourish this new community alongside Julie and Fiona.

This morning dance floor has become a place to touch something within- to let your inner world rise to the surface through embodied expression. And it's our hope that you've also found something to carry with you off the floor and out into the wider world. 🤎

We wish you a restful winter, perhaps inviting in the opportunity to shift your pace along with the seasons. Breathing deeply and intently, with moments of movement, reflection and integration. ❄️

Check back with us in September to see the new shapes the Collective takes and the fresh energy that comes along with a wave of rejuvenation! 〜🌱

But for now, from our dancing hearts to yours… thank you.

With love,
The Wellington Somatic Dance Collective # # #

📣 Last call to join us tomorrow!

The dance floor is filling and we're so looking forward to moving with you one last time before our winter rest & reset. ❄️

Join us in a journey of breath 🌬️ and the way it carries us through these ever-changing rhythms of life.

We'll follow up with a sweet mini-picnic to close, celebrate and send off two of our facilitators on their journey overseas, embracing new waves and shapes of the Wellington Somatic Dance Collective to come ✈️ ✨

There will be light bites provided and you are welcome to bring along something to share as well.

Come along to dance, connect and bask in the nourishment this special space provides! 🎶🌞

Happy Friday, dance fam! 🌞

We are just two weeks away from our final dance of the season, before taking a brief pause for winter. We hope you can join us for a last morning hoorah, followed by some spacious connection and snacks. 🤎

We will have our usual room until 12PM, and if the sun is shining for us, we can shift out into the grass patch to enjoy. ☺️ We will provide a few bites and welcome you to also bring along something light to share.

We'll celebrate the season that's been, the beauty of the now, and all that still lies ahead.

SATURDAY 14 JUNE at 10AM
Being Breathed 💨

Join us on the dance floor here 👇🏽

In this month's journey, we will visit the power of the breath as the ever-flowing life force that pervades us. Witnessing the breath as it carries us through titrating movement across the dance floor, it awakens us to the whole of our beings.

Can't wait to see you there,

-Christina, Julie & Fiona~ Wellington Somatic Dance Collective x
