Contemporary Dance
Our open level contemporary dance workshops boast a harmonious exploration of artistic expression and precise technique.
You are invited to creatively play, experience the joy of movement, and learn how to move in creative, artful, accurate ways that serve your mind, body and spirit.
Dance is the unity of spirit and science, expression and technique, art and athleticism, soul and body - an impeccable path to creative, physical and spiritual bliss. Contemporary dance lends itself spectacularly to creative wellness with it’s expressive qualities of movement, story telling ability and demand for physical and mental discipline, and is of course also a fun form of exercise!
Our vast range of contemporary dance offerings include one-two hour classes, three hour workshops, longer courses and private 1-2-1 and group sessions, and we can also tailor our class content to your preferences and needs. You’ll also find contemporary dance across all our dance offerings and in some of our mixed discipline workshops such as Full Moon Movement Alchemy, Movement & Light and Dancing Sacred Geometry.

Movement & Light
What do we mean by movement and light?
This is a concept that we see across creation stories, from genesis to samkhya to the big bang - first movement, vibration, the act of creating - then creation, form, colour, light.
And if the essence of creation is movement then light, then that speaks to our essence too as creative beings. We must move, vibrate, take action physically if we want to experience light energetically and in our lives.
So what do we mean by light?
Physical Light is the ultimate life giving source of all creation, and therefore, much like our creative nature and the concept of movement then light, light itself unifies all creation to oneness. When we think of light in a mental and emotional sense we often think of joy, bliss, clarity, weightlessness and when we think of light in a spiritual sense we may think of the process of enlightenment, of ascension through embodied learning and shining your light, your true self.
So how can move toward light?
Through tending to our energetic systems and currents and our nervous system, which function on vibration, through the movement of our bodies in unity with mind and soul in practices such as dance, yoga and somatics.

Dancing Sacred Geometry
Sacred Geometry, like dance, is a science and an art that connects the physical and spiritual, matter and energy. Discover how your body's natural physics can explore and channel the power of the foundational shapes and philosophies of sacred geometry through breathwork, yoga, Laban, and dance practices.
Our bodies are sacred means to manifest thought into reality and sense, respond to and express the Truths around and within us, much like sacred geometry bridges the spiritual and physical, artistic and scientific, realms. Our bodies are our sensual bond with the physical realm of Earth and a transcendental means of accessing and and sharing the ethereal realm of the soul. Our bodies, like all elements of life holding these sacred geometric codes, are born of consciousness and nature or matter, and our bodies can harness that divine union and magic through movement.
Our bodies are also designed, move, and interact with the space around us according to sacred geometry, and we can use our movement purposefully to physically, and therefore spiritually, access the shapes and principles of sacred geometry further. Rudolph Laban famously and ingeniously taught of how using the principles of sacred geometry alongside the principles of movement could allow us to access our full range of movement physically. And so, we say, spiritually too.

Full Moon Movement Alchemy
A collaborative offering from the magic pairing of Spirit of Creation and LivWell.
Full Moon Movement Alchemy is a profound combination of a Full Moon Ceremony and Movement Workshop, using dance, yoga, shamanic movement practices and ceremonious ritual to harness, balance and beneficially interact with the Full Moon’s Moon’s energy in its given astrological placement - to alchemise this energy around and within us through movement.
We take into consideration factors such as the characteristics and element of the sign in which the Moon is placed and the point in which we are in the lunar year.

Kids Classes & Courses
Dance is a fabulous way for children to get moving and ignite their creative spark all at once. The perfect activity for both their physical and creative wellbeing, a sport and an art!
Our dance offerings are rooted in contemporary dance and somatic dance therapy. The expressive quality, story telling ability and grounding nature of these dance forms lend themselves spectacularly to creative wellness and nourishing the whole child, whilst their physical discipline equips children with skills like coordination, musicality, strength, flexibility, balance and teamwork.
We believe that all children should have equal access to dance training and the joyous benefits of the arts. All of our classes are open level, available for all ages and abilities, and can be taught to up to 30 participants at once.
We offer after school clubs, long courses for schools and studios, one hour classes and three hour workshops: You can even book us for your young creative spirit’s party!
