What is Conscious Dance?
Conscious dance is light years away from the world of the ballroom show Strictly Come Dancing. Rather than competing for points and prizes, the emphasis is on personal exploration and your inner experience. Movement that is free form, spontaneous and authentic and it is held in a safe, inclusive and non judgemental space.
And it is also different from yoga and sitting meditation, though there are some states of overlap.
I have just put together this concise precis of the benefits of conscious somatic dance . It is not about comparing apples with bananas. Rather, to bring awareness to how it can enhance your life, as it has mine. Food for the body, mind and soul.
The Benefits of Conscious Dance
Invite in Calm
When we are stressed we are often in busy beta brain mode, with shortness of breath and agitated nervous system. Mindful movement connects with our bodies to release tension and calm these systems down, connect into the present moment (instead of fretting about past and future concerns) and promote a sense of relaxation and well-being.

Inner Connection
How many of us feel scattered, disconnected, ungrounded on a regular basis?
When we tune into our bodies with deep sensitivity and awareness, and with the power of our breath, we can connect the dots of our being. By integrating conscious movement, we can gain greater insight into our physical sensations, emotions and thoughts. This deepens our mind and body connection, that contributes to a sense of unity and balance.
Improve your Body Image
For those of you who may have body image issues, the idea of moving may feel somewhat vulnerable. Yet as you begin to develop deeper body awareness, you also begin to have more self acceptance. Over time, you will start to appreciate how incredible your body actually is!
