Open Floor Movement
Human beings are born to move. With dance, we thrive – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Open Floor is a fun, transformative dance practice. It is a lively meditation practice that builds muscular and emotional intelligence. It is a dance floor discovery zone where we move and include: good days and tough ones, passion, hesitance, joy, sorrow, births, deaths and everything in between.
There are no steps to learn and no way to do it wrong.
5Rhythms Dance
5Rhythms Dance is a simple yet profound movement practice which encourages freedom and fluidity in our dance and in our lives.
You are invited to let your body move finding your unique dance guided by the 5Rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness.
Each rhythm offers us its gifts when we surrender to the dance. Sometimes we get to the magical space where our dance becomes a body prayer and we are no longer dancing but being danced.
No dance experience is needed – just a willingness to dive into your own unique dance.
Open Floor is a fun, transformative dance practice.
All knowledge until it’s in the body, is still a rumour.

Open Floor is a lively meditation practice that builds muscular and emotional intelligence. It is a dance floor discovery zone where we move and include: good days and tough ones, passion, hesitance, joy, sorrow, births, deaths and everything in between. There are no steps to learn and no way to do it wrong.
Our teachers mix stirring music with clear guidance to inspire wild dances and tender ones, connections between dancers and solo time.
Research shows that people who dance grow more flexible, confident, capable of intimacy, and nimble in the face of change. When we move together, we grow communities that care for each other on and off the dance floor.
The invitation is to come just as you are, and join others doing the same right alongside you.
Come join us on the Open Floor!
The Common Good
The ripple effect is inescapable. One dance can change someone’s day, one act of kindness can inspire a whole community.
Students often leave a session able to bring a more generous presence out into the world. We dedicate our work to the common good, to the benefit of all beings.
