Spirit Dance is an active meditation where movement, music, breath and prayer are used to explore our inner life. It is a safe and sacred space that allows the inner wisdom of the body to guide us into an essential dance where personal revelation is possible, and dance becomes a powerful doorway into consciousness.
Each event has a theme that relates to where we are in the cycle of the seasons. Through exploring these themes we become more aware and attuned to the cycles of nature, and to the seasons and cycles within our own life.
Spirit Dance is a celebration of life through free and creative dance expression.
No dance experience is necessary, just a desire to move.

Justin Holland is a musician, dancer and yoga teacher. He brings to his teaching an interdisciplinary depth of knowledge from his many years of work, and study. He graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts in 1992 as a pianist specialising in Improvisation, and during this time discovered Contact Improvisation. Justin has been a student of this dance form ever since. In his twenties Justin’s love of music, dance and a burgeoning interest in Eastern spirituality then led him to study a number of times in India where he broadened his musical capacity and began his initial explorations of Yoga and Meditation. He has studied with many great teachers including New York piano maestro Mickey Tucker and Contact Improvisation pioneer Nancy Stark-Smith. He has toured nationally and internationally as a musician and dancer and has recently formalised his Yoga training, becoming a qualified yoga teacher. Spirit dance is a fusion of his passion as a dancer, musician and seeker
