Dance Meditation International combines dance and meditation to bring you out of your body and thoughts and into the moment.
At Dance Meditation International we won’t give you instructions on how to dance or who to dance with. We will hold the space for you to express yourself freely and be yourself as you dance unrestricted from judgement or instruction.
We play carefully selected tracks from a range of genres that will allow you to go on a journey within. No hangover, no bother, just the music and you. We provide warm ups, cool downs, gentle lighting and amazing music.
Amazing Space, great sound, lovely facilitator - well held. Dynamite Tunes!
I recommend spending your time, the small amount of money and space with other people who are also open to experience themselves with the music Alex thoughtfully chooses. I’ve been to two Dance meditation evenings and this last one especially I left my swaying body for awhile whilst the music took me and opened me more into a meditative state. I find that the moving around, shaking or whatever my body does is liberating and there’s an internal dance too of leaning into or pulling away. There’s no performance for anyone or what you look like because everyone is simply doing their thing, but you all are there for each other, creating that space. It’s quite a lovely, gentle thing to do for your self.
I participated in the last Dance Meditation and as a therapist I here to give my testimony. Due to my work I often feel powerless and physically tired. In recent months my body has shown signs of fatigue. Despite doing my self healing that has helped me a lot, I have noticed how important is the body movement, the body expression with the frequency of the music. Right after we finished the dance meditation I felt a lightness and unlocked not only my physical body but my emotional body. My pains decreased 75%, fantastic and amazing. I will suggest to all my clients to do Dance Meditation and they will see the difference. I forgot how important it is to dance, to sing, to vibrate the body, to let go. Thank you so much for this wonderful time.

Q&A
What time do your dance meditation sessions finish?
We normally try to finish dancing at 9:15 pm, unless otherwise advertised.
Will I have to dance in front of other people?
We never say that you need dance with other people, but you can if you want. We ask that you are sensitive towards other people and use your judgement as to whether they want to keep to themselves. As we hold the space we want to provide you with the freedom to dance as you wish. For our online events you can always turn your video stream off.
What kind of music do you use?
We use music from a range of sources. From classical, house and alternative, to electro-swing, folk, and trance. If it has the right energy, we'll play it.
What should I wear?
Anything you wish- but it will need to be comfy! We also suggest layers as it can may get hot. We suggest dancing barefoot but you may want to wear indoor trainers if you prefer.
What is your age limit?
Whilst our dance meditation sessions are for over 16s only, We do not have an upper limit!
Do I have to follow set dance steps or instructions?
We will not give you instructions on how to dance. You can dance however you wish.
Will there be a lot of talking during the session?
We request that words are left behind during the session. You may cry, laugh or shout, but, as in meditation, try to lose yourelf in the music as you go deeper.
Do I have to dance for the whole session?
You can sit and meditate or lie down at any time in the session. We only ask that you do so at the edges of the space, leaving the middle area unobstructed for those who wish to dance. You may wish to bring a blanket or yoga mat to use at the edges of the room when sitting or lying.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you fail to attend a session that you have booked we cannot offer you a refund and you will be charged for your place.
