There are some great benefits to working in this way.

Non-Verbal Expression: Dance and movement provide a means to express emotions without words, allowing individuals to bypass the cognitive filters that sometimes hinder genuine expression. 

Stress Reduction: Physical activity, including dance, can reduce stress levels. The rhythmic movements and focus on the present moment can help to calm the mind and body.

Emotional Processing: Dance and movement can help individuals to process and understand their emotions more deeply. By guiding clients to express their feelings without fear of judgment, they can benefit from different insights and perspectives.

Increased Self-Awareness: Dance and movement can foster a greater sense of self-awareness. As individuals become more attuned to their bodies and emotions, they can develop an understanding of how their body reacts. They can learn how to move to shift out of one state and manifest another one.

Improved Mood: Regular dance and movement can boost mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. The release of endorphins, the body's natural mood elevators, can contribute to a more positive outlook.

Social Connection: Group workshops can provide opportunities for social connection and support. Sharing the experience of emotional release with others can be a powerful way to build relationships and reduce feelings of isolation.

In my workshops, I guide my clients to experience deep and sometimes profound realisations through the style of body movement in flow that I connect them to. 

However, this style of dance and movement is just one of the ways to connect, there are many other benefits to gain from different styles of dancing. If you are looking to incorporate dance and movement into your life. Start by finding a style you enjoy: Whether it's ballet, hip-hop, salsa, or simply moving to your favourite music, the key is to find a style that makes you feel good.

If you feel self-conscious or are unfit, start slowly: If you're new to dance, begin with gentle movements and gradually increase the intensity as you become more comfortable. As you gain confidence, let go of inhibitions and allow yourself to move your body freely.

Experiment with different styles of movements to see how they affect your emotional state. 

Are you drawn to the grace and discipline of ballet or the freedom and energy of hip-hop? Or having a kitchen disco with your favourite tunes energises or calms you.

Dance and movement offer a powerful and accessible way to release trapped emotions and improve overall well-being. By embracing the expressive power of the body, individuals can gain new insights, reduce stress, and cultivate a deeper sense of emotional balance.
