Simple Spaces: Individual Experiential Dance
- 3 minsWhat, where and when?
A safe space to enjoy dance, movement and being in your body. There are no expectations - it really is meant for you to take time for what you truly need.
The dance is individual, non-verbal and unguided to a flow of ecstatic dance type music.
The event will be from 14.45-16.00 on the 20th of February 2026 in CREA. We meet in the cafe and will go up to the room together. Address: Nieuwe Achtergracht 170, 1018 WV Amsterdam
This event might be better suited for people who have done experiential dance before - but beginners are welcome as well. Just maybe contact me before with any questions you might have. And never hesitate to contact me in the space (even if I seem busy, as I will be joining myself).
There is a closed doors policy - so try to be 5 minutes early.

Guidelines
- For this event, the definition of dance is very broad. Even if you are lying on the ground in complete stillness, there should still be about 1 million molecules dancing wildly in your body :)
- The dance is individual to offer you an opportunity to really listen to your own body. That being said, support from others can go a long way, so feel free to give someone a smile, observe others, get inspired by them etc. :)
- The intention is to be present and listen to what your body needs. The mind might conjure up many ways of letting you think you need to perform or be ashamed somehow. But this space is really meant to give you the space to let that go and feel how your body wants to move.
- There will be a flow of ecstatic dance type music to help us connect to various emotions. Theoretically you could do this practice in silence, but the music tends to make it much easier for a busy mind to transition.
- Don’t forget that you can move through and use the entire space! It helps to create a group flow.
Cost
This event is unconditionally given. That means it’s a gift to the world from me, and I have no expectation of reciprocity (If I do somehow, please contact me with your feedback.)
That doesn’t mean I don’t welcome energy exchange. I’ll lovingly accept your gift of food, money, massage. Teach or lend me your skills, offer me to use your canoe during summer or whatever else you come up with 😇.
I’m experimenting with a donation page as well.
Mentions
- I’m experimenting with formats and I would love your feedback. Knowing what worked for you and what didn’t will help me in shaping these spaces. It is especially helpful for me to know how you felt during certain moments.
- I take responsibility for the space and for the exercises, but I expect from participants that they take responsibility for themselves and their own boundaries.
- After the event the CREA cafe will be the designated hangout space.
