Intimate Dancing
Discover the transformative power of Intimate Dancing: where flow, connection, and self-expression intertwine in a harmonious journey of self-discovery and shared love.
“What a wonderful experience, the intimate dancing. You did a great job. It felt like a warm and safe container. My initial fear was unnecessary. Words that I would like to add alongside feeling grounded are: energized, liberated, and self-love.”

Embracing Flow and Connection
Intimate Dancing is a workshop where flow takes centre stage. The flow of your body, the flow of connection with others, the flow of music, the flow of emotions, the flow of experiences, the flow of life itself! We begin with a warm-up to arrive in the space and in your body. Then, we delve deeper into embodiment and boundaries.
We work with intentions, therapeutic dance exercises, and progress towards guided free flow, allowing space for touch, dance, and/or meditation. We conclude with an optional sharing moment.

Intimate Exploration
Through dance and intimate togetherness, you will get to know yourself and others better. Sometimes gentle, sometimes wild, sometimes loving, sometimes exuberant. Consent, trust, and safety are paramount in our interactions. We dance with respect for ourselves, each other, and everything around us. There is space to release tension, process emotions, and work through challenging parts. It is a space for coming together in unity.
Let yourself be guided. Unload and let go. Surrender. Slow down, grow, and flourish.

“I experienced this workshop as safe, a sense of coming home… Excellent structure and guidance by Joke and Piero. A beautiful balance between staying connected with oneself and connecting with others, between dancing and cuddling, between exercises on consent and allowing yourself to be moved by your own flow. Everything feels very open-ended, at your own pace, and you can stay within your own boundaries or consciously explore them :-).”

Intimacy Coach - Transformation - Collective Healing
We acknowledge our own privileges and acknowledge the past and present traumas, recognising how they might hurt or disadvantage others. Like everyone, we have blind spots and are open to feedback, self-reflection, and reconciliation. With our life experiences, we work together to build a safe space for dancing and connection.
