DanceLab Overview

DanceLab is a space to playfully experiment with moving the body spontaneously through shifting moods and musical shapes - freeing ourselves from the mind’s tyranny of judgment and comparison - into a space of freedom, joy, and plain old fun! Take some time out to let go, cut loose, and honor your movement expression in a welcoming space. Your dance is unique as your fingerprint, while dancing together builds energy and community. There are no steps to learn - it’s freestyle movement inspired by community and a changing selection of evocative and lively music. We close with a meditative cool down and reflection. 

Dance Etiquette 
  • This is not a contact-heavy dance space, but please ask for consent for contact dance

  • Vocalizing, singing, quietude, movement, and stillness are all welcome. 

  • Be aware of and take care of others in the space (please avoid trip hazards, specifically), and take good care of yourself!

About the Instructor
 
Julie Masters

Julie's offerings are based in her experience and devotion to discovery of the Self, pursuit of insight, healing, beauty, and joy. She has training in holistic health, feminist spirituality, various healing modalities, and has participated in many workshops, retreats, yoga classes, and personal growth sessions and programs. 

Julie is retired from a career as a lawyer, where she wrote administrative law appeals in Oregon. So she has navigated the workaday world and also explored the inner worlds where subjective experience is valued. 

Julie has spent time doing inquiry into deep aspects of her experience, guided by intuition and respect, gratitude, kindness, and humility. With these allies, we can relax our defenses and tensions, sinking back into the beautiful background of spaciousness, finding natural rooted strength and unconditional support. The practice of inquiry is a free-form exploration of the present moment experience, following one's own resonance to discover what is true. In either inquiry or we-space practice we can restore our natural knowing that we are valid, inwardly connected, mysterious and alive.
