A global movement school where sound and soma unite, and where music meets body intelligence.
Through dance, we awaken our authentic aliveness and reconnect to the full beauty of being human.
For over eight years, we have been devoted to the evolution of somatic dance as both a personal practice and a collective experience.
Our trainings have been held in multiple locations around the world, and our community continues to grow across continents.
Today, somatic dance floors are active in 11 cities across Aotearoa and in over 10 countries globally, with facilitators and DJs bringing this work to life in diverse communities.
As a school, we stand at the leading edge of somatic dance training globally.
A world where the wisdom of the body is remembered, honoured, and lived through dance, sound, and vibration..
VISION
MISSION
To cultivate a vibrant global community of facilitators and DJs who offer trauma-aware somatic dance spaces that nurture belonging, embodied awareness, and connection to the living Earth.
OUR WHY
We live in a time of speed, disconnection, and disembodiment. Yet beneath it all, the body remembers.
Dance and sound become pathways back to presence, to truth, and to relationship, to ourselves, to each other, and to the living Earth.
Again and again, we witness what happens when people return to their bodies. Walls soften, expression awakens, and a deep sense of belonging emerges. On our dance floors, people remember what it means to feel alive together.
Through somatic movement and sound, the nervous system reorganizes and expands, opening pathways for creativity, resilience, and new ways of meeting life.
We hear what becomes possible in these spaces. A sense of belonging. A freedom people did not know they were seeking. A release of what has been held in the body, sometimes without awareness.
People speak of feeling more alive, more connected, more themselves, of joy, expansiveness, and a deep reconnection to body, soul, and something greater.
This is more than dance. It is a homecoming.
Somatic Dance International exists to support this remembering by training facilitators and DJs to lead with sensitivity, integrity, and embodied intelligence so dance floors around the world can become spaces of safety, vitality, connection, and genuine transformation.
