In Person Classes
We dance to a wide variety of styles of music from around the world. I feel such gratitude to the amazing musicians who support the dance!
For large parts of the class, there are no words, as you follow your own inspiration. There are instructions, which hold the theme of the class. The instructions are very permissive, allowing you to follow your own thread as well as explore the theme of the class to whatever extent it resonates for you. The themes of the classes tend to be rooted in the natural world. We are inspired by the elements, by the trees, and we follow the cycles of the moon and the seasons.

I hold an Out of Doors class on a Sunday and an Indoors class on a Friday!
Fridays
A few words from Ya’Acov and Susannah Darling Khan, the Founders of Movement Medicine:
“How does Movement become your Medicine?
There is a dancer inside all of us. The dancer inside you knows that life is movement and that, by giving the reins to the part of you that rests in the beat, and by connecting your mind with your body and your body with your heart, movement becomes your medicine. In the embrace of the dance, we shatter the shoulds and shouldn’ts that squeeze the juice from life.
Along the way, you will make friends with yourself and find many companions to travel alongside. You will come into contact with the unique essence of who you are and into vibrant interconnection with all of life.
You will transform your relationship with the past, become more deeply engaged with the challenges and riches of the present, and unearth fresh inspiration to play your part in shaping the future”

I am thrilled to have the blessing of The Centre For Stewardship.
First of all, there is a large canopy so even if the rain raineth, it is still possible to dance out of doors without getting soaked!
Secondly, right beside the large canopy, there is a lovely café so it is possible to get a hot drink before dancing and hot soup after dancing.
Thirdly, Falkland is very beautiful, nestled as it is under the Lomond hills with lovely streams and paths and woods to explore.
And lastly, the Centre for Stewardship is so loving and respectful of the land and the ancestors; and its ethos is rooted in our responsibility to be good stewards for all our descendants. So we dance in good company!
Times: Sundays, 10:30am – 12:30pm
Duration: 2 hours
Location: Falkland Woods, under the canopy at the cafe by the stables
Cost: £10 – Book now through my online shop
