An inclusive, safe, and sacred community space to explore authentic non-verbal expression through dance and movement for the purpose of healing and transformation.
Dance Temple is an invitation to tune in to your body, join with other dancers, celebrate, meditate and unwind. It is an open dance floor for you to explore different rhythms, sounds, patterns of movement and whatever arises in your inner journey. The dance journey begins and ends with some brief facilitation.
All ages, all genders, all bodies, and all parts of YOU are welcome.
We acknowledge with deep respect that we gather on the unceded territories of the Snuneymuxw, Snaw-naw-as, and Stzuminus people.
Dance Temple is the heartbeat and core of a larger cultural transformation and the foundation of a new community movement where all are allowed to share their brilliance. Dance Temple provides a safe space to have an authentic experience, to express in an inclusive way, to clear blocks, thoughts or patterns, to centre and harmonize with ourselves and with each other. Holding each other in this process and holding a greater vision of community strength and resilience, we create the foundations for a new world.
The facilitators of Dance Temple hold a strong intention to honour movement and dance as an essential and powerful expression of self and connection to others. We acknowledge the healing and artistic nature of movement and recognize that fun, play and humour are vital to this practice.
We remember, most importantly, the core purpose we have come together is to move and dance, so we lovingly hold this intention in our hearts with these agreements:
1. Move however you wish
2. No talking on the dance floor
3. Respect yourself and one another
Dance Temple is a smoke-free, alcohol-free and scent-free space. Please also refrain from photos, video and shoes. No pets inside on the dance floor.
