Welcome to SunFire Dance

SunFire Dance offers a space of conscious dance, connection, collaboration, freedom and creativity. SunFire Dance invites you to dance as gently or as wildly as you wish at our special conscious dance events.

Conscious Dance is an embodied practice of movement and free flowing dance that integrates emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. We embark on a movement journey allowing moments of gentle flow, natural rhythm, release, elation, stillness and reflection. When we move, we can quiet the mind and innately embody the rhythm of the music, freeing our selves and opening us to new perspectives. There are no steps to follow, just your own feet and your own heartbeat. There will be moments of guided meditation and others where you can deep dive into the music.

SunFire Dance, which launched this Autumn, creates spaces that offer heartfelt and wonderous dance sessions both indoors and in nature. Dorset is a picturesque part of England and blessed with beautiful beaches, nurturing forests, glorious rivers, fields and clifftops – all of which are places for sacred and ecstatic connections to our Earth home.

Dance the change you choose to be - within yourself, your community and our world!

Wolf Moon -  Sunday, 12 January 2025 (Branksome Chine Beach) Meeting earlier at 5.30pm to 7pm.

We meet in front of Rockwater Restaurant, close to the water's edge.

We attempt to make as little impact as possible, so we will have a small shelter to keep our equipment dry, a small altar circle and dance spread across the beach. Our headsets have a 300m range so you are free to roam. We dance in nature to celebrate our connection to earth. We do not have huge marquees. We leave the beach clean, with no evidence that we have been there.

All events are weather dependent and may be cancelled at the last minute.

Spaces are limited as we only have 30 headsets. 

Please ensure you dress warmly. Bring a flask with something warm to drink, water, a torch, hot water bottle (optional), cosy blanket or shawl.

 

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes 

 

 

Agreements

Safe space

We endeavour to create a safe space for you to express yourself freely. We remain respectful of ourselves and others. Everyone is welcome to participate.

 

Communicate through the body on the dance floor

The dancefloor remains a conversation free zone. We encourage non-verbal communication through gesture and flow, sounds and singing. You are welcome to chat in the adjacent lounge area.  

 

We dance  barefoot 

Dancing barefoot allows us to connect with the Earth, move freely, allow us to remain grounded and connected. If it is chilly, you can wear non-slip warm socks. Some folks also like to wear dance shoes.

 

Free-form movement

The music encourages you to move spontaneously in a varied and unique way. There are no steps to follow. You may dance as wildly or mildly as  you wish.

 

Device free zone

Our dancefloor is a device free zone. Ensure all devices are on silent and safely stored away. If you need to take a call, please do so in the lounge area. 

 

Consent

Obtain consent from other dancers before dancing with or making physical contact. We use the namaste gesture (hands together in a prayer) when thanking someone after dancing or indicating that we wish to dance alone. We encourage playfulness,  joy and dancing with others safely on our dancefloor.

 

Sobriety

Arrive and remain sober throughout the event. Please refrain from consuming alcohol before and during the event so that you can enhance your experience and this allows you to engage in the process in safety.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Conscious Dance?

Conscious Dance is a movement practice that combines elements of dance, mindfulness, and self-expression. It encourages participants to explore their bodies and emotions in a supportive environment.

Do I need previous dance experience to join?

With Conscious Dance, you follow the beat of your own heart and free-flow of your feet. Spontaneiously react and move intuitively to a variety of music. There are not steps to learn. No previous dance experience is required. Our sessions are open to all and are designed to accommodate newbies, as well as experienced conscious dancers.

What should I wear to a Conscious Dance session?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Bare feet are recommended, but dance shoes or socks are also acceptable.
