Welcome to SunFire Dance
Move Freely. Connect Deeply. Dance Ecstatically.
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 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!

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 outside.

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. If you wish to dance solo, we indicate this by placing our hands on our heart. 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.
