Open Floor

Open Floor Movement Practice is a lively, sweaty, full-on dance exploration.
Dedicated to the art of becoming fully present, rooted, sensitive, alive & at home in our own skins – physically, emotionally, mindfully & spiritually.
Life is movement.  Life is relationship, Movement is relationship. The expression of this mysterious alchemy happens through our body. We offer it an Open Floor.
Open Floor is an exploration of free movement and of oneself through movement. The Open Floor is a place where you can be and move exactly as you are and become more of who you truly are with each dance.
Open Floor feeds all our hungers: through dance we explore connection to ourselves and others, to community and to spirit. And breathing is the starting point.

As human beings we are born into bodies that travel fluidly through an infinite range of movement and feeling. Over time, through physical and emotional injury, cultural messages, age and sedentary habits, our movement expression gets narrower and narrower. On the Open Floor, we use dance as a physical meditation practice to reclaim our lost embodiment, to move us from fixed to fluid, from habit to choice to creative possibility.

On the Open Floor we bring a mindful, embodied movement to our lives as human beings. The 4 Dimensions of Embodiment describe what it means to truly inhabit our entire selves and the 4 Relational Hungers describe the elemental needs and passions that call us to move in the first place.

Together, they comprise an inseparable weave of our humanness. This is where and how we dance on the Open Floor.
