Inspired by various freestyle movement and partner dance practices,
Moving Connections is a chance to move and be moved, to relax into our bodies and to explore connections through simple exercises that support us to meet and connect without words, in a light and embodied way.
Everyone is welcome! There's no skills or experience needed,
just an open mind, a little curiosity and the willingness to have a go.

June 13th - 16th Moving with Intimacy Camp : Part 1 Sunrise
Our Part 1 Sunrise edition welcomes anyone curious to explore connections and movement, with care and compassion for ourselves and others. There's no need to have previous experience or have done anything like this before. The structure of the weekend will guide us through a journey that supports us in practicing to identify and work within our own and other's boundaries and to follow our heart's desires whilst respecting and honouring our truths so that we each can be at choice and take the time and space we need to be gentle with ourselves and each other.
June 20th - 23rd Moving with Intimacy Camp : Part 2 Solstice
Our Part 2 Solstice edition welcomes those who have some experience of working with consent and boundaries, intimacy and movement. We would ask that you have either been to one of our Moving with Intimacy events in the past, or a similar kind of event that has a focus on exploring intimacy with consent. In any case, the structure of the weekend will guide us through a journey that supports us in practicing to identify and work within our own and other's boundaries and to follow our heart's desires whilst respecting and honouring our truths so that we each can be at choice and take the time and space we need to be gentle with ourselves and each other.
July 31st - August 4th Rumble Dance Camp - Part 1
Centred around a beautiful hall with a smooth floor, where we can roll and sweep, tickle and leap.. Where the music calls and the silence has its own melody. A campfire by moonlight to sing us to sleep, the sounds of nature to massage our feet, to rest our heads, ready for when, we are called to dance as the sun rises again.
Rumble is where Moving Connections was first developed, and continues to offer the perfect backdrop for us to move and explore connections to music!

PEER Support, Monthly Sundays, Hackney Wick
Welcome to our peer-led support sessions, open to all those who facilitate any kind of authentic movement practice for groups on a regular basis.
The intention of this group is to give ourselves as facilitators, the opportunity for mutual support in our work, both through holding space for each other to move through and explore, and in sharing conversations that support us through some of the challenges and joys that arise in doing what we do.
