Ritual Dance

You are invited to step into a shared, silent dance that lets your body speak. Take a moment: close your eyes, breathe, and notice where life and discomfort live inside you. Allow those parts to move. Open your eyes, feel, reflect — and ask yourself what is moving through you now.

We gather from arrival and welcome, meet in an opening circle, and then move together in a guided Ritual Dance by Andrew Leigh. The music carries a spontaneous, free dance in a demarcated field and time: we dance barefoot, we drink only water, and we use body language and sound rather than words. The session closes with a final Ritual Dance and time for sharing.

Registration is necessary because places are limited. The event runs on a sliding scale: Support(ing), Standard and Support(ed). If money is tight, reach out — they try to make dancing possible for everyone. See the sliding scale guidance here: https://www.wortsandcunning.com/blog/sliding-scale

Practical details: we meet inside the beautiful Blaisant church (Blaisantkerk) in Gent. After booking you will receive a follow-up email; you can also start a discussion on the FB page for questions. What to bring: wear comfortable dancing clothes, bring a water bottle and bring your heart.

Ritual Dance is inspired by Ecstatic Dance and Ritual Play: from silence we feel into ourselves, make eye contact with another dancer, show up and recognise each other. With loving invitations and warmth, Andrew & Ritual Dance invite you to feel light, feel free and to wake the inner fire within each other.
