Perpetual MOJO - The Dance of Connection - 3rd October

Sat 3 Oct 7pm - 9:30pm

Ashtanga Yoga Centre of Melbourne, Melbourne

WANT TO DANCE AND CONNECT - WITHOUT SLEAZE AND SMALLTALK?

Us too! Welcome to MOJO - The DANCE of Connection.

WHAT is Mojo Dance?

– Mojo Dance is a sensual fusion of free dance, conscious relating, and how you wish the school social had really been.

– You will be guided by a trained facilitator through easy-to-follow solo, group and partner activities, supporting you to experience meaningful connection with yourself and others.

WHY?

– In this increasingly online and busy world, it's easy to feel isolated and disconnected from our bodies, each other, and our unique self-expression. Mojo Dance provides a respectful, playful space for good humans to experience the magic of embodied connection, within and around.

IS MOJO FOR ME?

Mojo Dance is suitable for you if...

You love to dance, but:

– you don’t want to learn steps

– you don’t want to be judged for how you dance

– you don’t want to have to deal with drunk people on the dance floor.

You enjoy human connection, but -

– you don’t like small talk

– you don’t like sleaze

– it’s sometimes hard to connect with new people in a meaningful way

– you’re not sure where to find the people who ‘get’ you, as you are, without having to try to fit in.

– An eclectic range of awesome music.

What Mojo Dance IS NOT -

  • CLIQUEY -

– Whether you’re joining us for the first or 50th time, you will be warmly welcomed and included from the beginning.

• SLEAZY -

– Mojo is grounded in a strong culture of respect for personal sovereignty. Tools and support are provided to foster clear communication of boundaries and consent.

• AN ORGY –

– There is no sexual activity at Mojo Dance.

  • HETERONORMATIVE -

– Mojo Dance is welcoming to people of all genders and sexualities. There are no gender-specific exercises.

  • COMPETITIVE -

– There is no pressure or expectation to be a 'good dancer’, or to be good at anything. You’re good at being you. That’s plenty.

  • A TALK-FEST -

– Other than the guided facilitation, Mojo Dance is a non-verbal space. All exercises are designed to be embodied rather than discussed. So you don't ever have to worry about what to say. You can't get it wrong.
