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.
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 and then will have a short sharing circle.
This is a comment from a participant at our first Conscious Dance class 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 Mon 24 November 2025.
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 really welcome to join us for a cuppa @ AnLanntair Cafe afterwards.
Where: Sandwickhill Studios
10 East St, Isle of Lewis, HS2 0AG
Time: 12.30 – 2.30 pm
Cost: £15 (Numbers will be limited and advance booking advised)
More information: This is the third Conscious Dance Workshop that Helen Maher and Jenny Smith have organised on the Isle of Lewis. We meet in person, once a month. There is a Hebridean Conscious Dance WhatsApp Group, which anyone interested is welcome to join, to be kept informed of future dates. Please email Jenny or Helen with your mobile no, if you would like to be included in this WhatsApp Group. If you are a Conscious Dance teacher (or know one) who is going to be on Lewis anytime in the future, and would like to hold space at one of our monthly dances, please email Jenny or Helen for details of how this may work.
Jenny Smith is a professional artist and well-being practitioner, with 40 years experience of facilitating groups in a variety of contexts. She has been dancing for 12 years and will be sharing her first playlist in November, fresh out of her Conscious Dance DJ Training. This follows on from Helen Maher’s great playlist in October. Helen was a wedding celebrant in Harris for 20 years. She has been dancing for 24 years and is planning to do the DJ Training in 2026.
