Description
Would you like to join us for a Conscious Dance?
Conscious Dance is a form of free flowing, movement practice, with no steps or sequences to learn, in which we follow however our body wants to move to the music. Everybody is welcome, whatever your size, shape or age – there is no right or wrong way to dance consciously. To just be ourselves and dance with whatever we are experiencing, in a community of like-minded people, can be liberating, affirming, and sometimes life-changing. Dance and movement can improve physical performance, mental health, and emotional well-being.
No steps to learn. No way to get it wrong. Just you, fellow dancers, the music and the dance. We will move together for around 90 mins followed by a short sharing circle.
This is a comment from a participant at our first Conscious Dance
gathering in September 2025
“It all fell together so wonderfully, it was so heartwarming to let go of any inhibitions and truly connect through dance. You could see and feel the energy shift and it was so joyful to see everyone glowing by the end. Thank you so much Jenny and Helen for putting it all in motion, to take flight and soar.
We look forward to welcoming you on Sat 24 Jan 2026. Come as you are.
What to bring:
- Water bottle
- Loose clothing – layers work best
- Come prepared to dance barefoot, or in dance shoes/trainers – socks are too slippy!
You are also really welcome to join us for an optional cuppa @ AnLanntair Cafe afterwards.
Where: Sandwickhill Studios10 East St, Isle of Lewis, HS2 0AG
Time: 3 – 5 pm
Cost: £15 (Numbers limited, advance booking advised)
