Free form movement for all bodies and souls. Join us! Soul Motion is freeform movement that invites you to move in wildness or rest in stillness, following what your body is longing for. On a Soul Motion floor, you might find people dancing slowly or vigorously, in silliness or in reflectiveness, in small, subtle ways or large, expressive ways, on their feet or on the floor. We learn to listen to our bodies, following breath, relating to gravity and space. We go inward to move with ourselves alone, look outward to move with another, see widely to move with many others, and reach beyond to move with All That Is. Soul Motion is for every body and all abilities. Movement experience is unimportant. Bring yourself, as you are. You are enough.
