Cambsdance is a community of people who love to dance.

We organise regular dynamic dance meditation classes including 5 Rhythms, Open Floor and Freedom Dance and are interested in other conscious movement and presence practices happening in Cambridge.

Conscious dance is a free form of dance that anyone can do whatever their shape, gender, mobility or fitness level. Cambsdance Friday night dances are open to anyone from the age of 16 and up. Children under the age of 16 may not attend. Young people between 16 and 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

No prior knowledge is needed, there are no steps to learn and nothing to get right. It allows you to connect your body to the music, and, if you like, to connect with others in non-verbal communication of common movement.

We are a friendly group of people who love to welcome new dancers into our community.

Currently we dance on Friday evenings in St Paul’s Church on Hills Road. Bookings can be made from a week ahead up to the start of the dance, on Bookwhen (all major payment cards accepted, no need to login to book).

Conscious Movement releases & energises the mind, body and uplifts the spirit.

Let go of your mind, let the music move through your body to awaken your heart, find richness and openness in your life.

 

Etiquette

This dance class is for all adults who agree to take self responsibility for their own physical, emotional and mental well being in attending. Children under the age of 16 may not attend. Young people between 16 and 18 must be accompanied by an adult. 

Respect all dancers, including yourself! Be aware and respectful of when someone wants to dance by themselves. Don’t be afraid to be clear in your body language if you prefer to dance without touch or by yourself. When dancing with another person, be sensitive and respectful about if and how you invite physical contact, and if you are dancing in a group, be mindful of others in the room and the space around you to avoid bumping or banging into someone. Keep your communication non-verbal, in order not to distract others.

Please take care for your own safety and well being. Please know that we do what we can to maintain a safe environment, but an individual’s safety remains their responsibility as safety means different things to different people. For those who have sensitivity to sound levels, you may wish to bring and wear earplugs. The dance is a space to move through a process at a personal level but in a self-responsible way, and if that is not possible then we request that you seek another way to work through this.  If you are attending with a vulnerable adult please remain with them. If you are concerned for the safety of someone at class, or should you experience any difficult behaviour during class,  please let the teacher know on the night. They will let the organisers know, you are welcome to email the organisers too. If there are any concerns around behaviour that comes to our attention we, the organisers, have the right to ask the individual/s not to come to dance. This may be for the time whilst we gain clarity of facts or indefinitely. If you believe there is a safeguarding concern please refer here. Any complaints or concerns connected to an incident at class can be communicated here.

Cambsdance is a strictly alcohol- and drug-free zone; please do not consume any substances prior to dance or bring any substances on to the premises.

Cambsdance and the teachers cannot be responsible for any physical injuries incurred during online classes.
