Sunshine Coast Conscious Dance Calendar, Sunshine Coast (2025)

20/12/2025

5Rhythms Sunny Coast - Summer Solstice starts soon at Coolum Civic Centre.

5Rhythms Sunshine Coast
The Renaissance turns and returns!

SAT 20 DEC | 6-8 PM

The Summer Solstice honours the sun at is fullest peak of light.

May we return together again in these times of transition, transformation and rebirth.

It's a powerful moment.

A time for deeper connection with community.

A time for vision.

For those wanting to dance up our reemergence and revival.
Your rendezvous with release and rapture, movement and music.

A portal of time and space to get out of our heads and into our bodies, to shake ourselves free with tribe and good vibes.

A deep dive revival
Dynamic dance medicine
Embodied remembrance
Movement . Meditation
Maps to Ecstasy
Alchemy
Healing

Whilst we no longer have the monthly sessions on the Sunny Coast, I am committed to bringing 4 Seasonal Dances!

These solar pulse points of the calendar remind us that we are part of nature and nature knows how to dance with it all.

Renaissance | rɪˈneɪs(ə)ns, ˌrɛneɪˈsɒ̃s |
From re- ‘back, again’ + naissance ‘birth’

Collective | kəˈlɛktɪv |=
Forming a whole, combined

"Every renaissance comes to the world with a cry, the cry of the human spirit to be free."

~ Anne Sullivan Macy

_____________

5Rhythms® is a creative and expressive movement practice that generates momentum for deep healing. It is at once meditation, medicine, and a series of maps to ecstasy.

There is no choreography...other than following the body, and listening in to it's wisdom. However there is a structure and guidance. Sometimes there will be exercises to support our embodied presence.

The dance offer's us the space to drop out of the mind and into the feet, to allow the beat of the music to hold us as we step out of our own way and be danced.

A shamanic practice that calls us into a deep embodied awakening.

By putting the body in motion we heal the psyche and create an opportunity to connect body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit with our full aliveness! As we dance through this Wave we gain a wider movement vocabulary to find out our ground, express our hearts, get creative, free ourselves, and come home.

We’ll always have phases to dance together as a group where individual needs and impulses are guiding us in a consensual environment.

Time: 6-8pm
Payment in cash or direct deposit on the night
Drop in is always possible : )

We have different formats for these Fridays.

Which format is happening we'll be announced in the Sunshine Coast Contact Improv messenger group. Contact Joerg Hassmann, Miho Yazawa or Jonathan Tucker to join that group.

-------------

Most session will be facilitated by Joerg Hassmann, an internationally well known teacher. There is a team of experienced dancers, who facilitate the sessions, when Joerg is travelling to teach Workshops elsewhere.

CONTACT IMPROVISATION
has been developing internationally since 1972 and it started from the exploration, research and inquiries of Steve Paxton. It involves the exploration of one's body in relation to others and the space of presence they visit, by using the fundamentals of sharing weight, listening touch, and movement awareness. It has evolved into a broad global community around "jams" characterised by their welcoming attitude towards newcomers to dance, as well as seasoned practitioners, and its fundaments relate with dancing without being guided by music, instead, the dancers learn to listen to the sounds that the dance itself brings.

JOERG HASSMANN
Joerg is a dancer and passionate movement teacher, deeply interested in learning and the question 'what is it that makes us feel connected?' - on many different levels. He is one of the leading figures in Europe in the field of Contact Improvisation, and has been teaching for more than 25 years, offering training programmes and organising festivals. Many kinds of sports, release techniques, somatic work, Zenthai Shiatsu, instant composition and performance work have informed his dance and his teaching. He's been living on the Sunshine Coast for the last four years, facilitating the growths of the local CI community.

Ecstatic Dance 19th December ~ Ecstatic Soul Journey part. 11 starts soon at Coolum Civic Centre.

💫 Discover the Freedom of Movement
Our Ecstatic Soul Journey is running every month in Coolum Beach, where we celebrate the joy of movement and the power of community. This unique gathering offers a safe and welcoming space for individuals of all backgrounds to express themselves freely through dance. Whether you’re an experienced dancer or a complete beginner, our event is designed to help you connect with your body, mind, and soul in a profound way.

💫 Ecstatic Dance is more than just moving to music — it’s a journey of self-discovery and expression. It’s about connecting with your body, surrendering to the music, and releasing energies that no longer serve you. For Nate, it’s a way of sharing high-vibrational and creative moments with a community, inviting others to join him in embracing the magic of movement and music.

𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑫𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒔
🗓️ Date: Sunday, 19th of October
⌚️ Time: 4pm to 7:30pm (Please come 15 minutes in advance)
📍 Location: Coolum Civic Centre, 2-4 Park St, Coolum Beach, QLD 4573
✨ Cost: $22 to $44 (scaling price)

🌟 What to Expect

🌀 Mindfulness Movement ~

🌀 Playful Connection & Soulful Relating ~ we’re igniting deep, authentic connections through play-based connection and relating games. As a certified Trauma-Informed and Play-Based Facilitator, I, Nate, weave these transformative games into our event to create a vibrant, inclusive community where everyone feels safe to express their soul’s voice. These games ~ rooted in somatic awareness, improv, and relational presence ~ dissolve barriers, spark joy, and drop us into the present moment, fostering bonds that feel like coming home.

🌀 Ecstatic Dance ~ Nate will guide you on a musical journey that encourages free-form movement and self-expression. Dancing in noble silence on the dance floor, the eclectic mix of music will help you let go of inhibitions and move freely. There are no steps to learn and no right or wrong way to move – just follow your body’s natural rhythm and let the music guide you.
This practice also helps to regulate your nervous system, promoting a state of calm and relaxation. Embrace the flow, feel the music, and allow your mind and body to find harmony.

🌀 Quantum and Metta Meditation ~ After the dance, we will transition into a quantum meditation session. This meditation is designed to help you embody the person you want to be in your life. By connecting to the quantum field of limitless potential, you will visualise and align with your true career path, personal aspirations, and highest self. This transformative practice will integrate the energy of the dance and anchor your intentions into your reality.

🌀 Sound Healing ~ Immerse yourself in the soothing vibrations that harmonise mind and body. Simply relax, tune into your breath and senses, and observe your thoughts without judgment, embracing a state of mindful awareness.

🌀 Regular Gatherings ~ We’re excited to share that our Ecstatic Soul Journey will now be happening every month!

🌟 What to Bring

✅ Comfortable clothing that allows for free movement
✅ A water bottle to stay hydrated
✅ A yoga matt or a blanket to lay
✅ A towel if you sweat
✅ An open mind and a willing spirit

🌟 Ecstatic Dance Agreements

✨ Move however you wish: There are no specific steps or routines. Let your body guide you.
✨ Respect silence: Treat the dance as a moving meditation. On the dance floor, maintain Noble Silence to allow everyone to stay in their flow and their meditative state.
✨ Respect personal space: Be mindful of others' space. Dance alone or with others only if there is mutual agreement.
✨ Barefoot dancing if possible: Dance barefoot to fully connect with the ground and enhance your experience.
✨ No phones or cameras: Keep electronic devices away to maintain the present, immersive experience.
✨ No drugs or alcohol: The event is a substance-free space. Embrace the natural high of music and movement.
✨ Please avoid strong perfumes, as some people may be sensitive to scents.
✨ Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water and take care of your body.
✨ Support each other: Create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels supported.
Embrace the experience: Let go of judgments, enjoy the moment, and express your true self.

🌟 Join Us
Come and experience the magic of Ecstatic Dance. Reconnect with yourself, others, and the world around you through the transformative power of dance and music. We look forward to dancing with you and creating a vibrant community together.
