Open Floor is a practice of conscious dance—a moving meditation and an exploration of life itself. When we step onto the dance floor, we step into flow. We witness what arises in our bodies, practicing fluidity and presence. Like life, the dance is always changing: thoughts shift, emotions flow, the body moves. Conscious dance invites us to stay with the change, and also to notice what remains still.

At its heart, Open Floor is a resource-based movement practice. Through dance, we explore new ways of moving and responding with intention and purpose. We become aware of our habits and patterns, and as we embody new possibilities, we build resources—flexibility, resilience, and ease—that we can draw on in daily life (OpenFloor.org).

For me, conscious dance is practice, teacher, and meditation. It is an invitation to witness ourselves through body and breath, rhythm and relationship, movement and stillness. The dance reminds us we are alive and helps us find our ground, center in our lives, and allow feelings to move through us.

Movement is the language of the earth. Through our own movement, we remember our connection—to nature, to one another, and to ourselves—with clarity and depth.
