What is Shake the Dust?
Think Friday night Rave!
Shake The Dust is a transformative and embodied practice of the body heart and mind. We journey between perpetual movement, rest, release and free movement.
With shaking, jumping, dancing, intuitive movement (sometimes yoga too), pilates, somatics and bodyweight training, not to mention a carefully curated playlist, this class is designed for anyone and will at best deliver a great workout, SWEAT and and a strong resilient body.
You do not need previous experience from our trainings to join this one. Everyone is welcome -
£12 per class or book a class pass at £50

The Dance: Somatic Ecstatic
Sunday 31st May 2.30-4pm
-
Somatic Ecstatic Dance blends intuitive, free-form movement (Ecstatic Dance) with somatic awareness (tuning into body sensations), allowing for deep inner exploration through embodied movement. Journeys held with integrity offer us the ability as humans to meet thresholds within ourselves. It is a powerful practice to hold space for, a real testimony to the marriage of music & dance & its importance in serving our communities. Trance states have always been and continue to be essential for human thriving. The effects of ecstatic dance are described as rapture, connectedness to others, to our emotions and non-dual recognition. The dance itself serves as a moving meditation from somatisation, awakening us into our true nature, self-recognition, further expanding into that which is unborn and never ceasing. When access to these states is not explored we might seek ecstasy in darker, more destructive ways.
