Remember
Remember a Dance
As old as the universe.
Moves through every fibre
of your Being.
Stay present to it.
Be moved by it.
Open to the conversation
Here and Now.
Remember….
The dance of life!
Where only Love
has ever moved.

On the Path
Finding our feet
Kissing with each step
The earth beneath
Some in rapid succession
Some slow and lingering
Always this dance,
Merging, flying,
Out breath, in
Our feet and the ground
Are Lovers that can’t be kept apart.
Alice Cox
Alice has been holding space for conscious dance for the past 2 years. Her journey began when a friend invited her to the debut of Ecstatic Dance Cornwall and from that day she attended every class. With her passion for contact dance, she began running Contact Improvisation warm up workshops before the Ecstatic Dance journey’s. In the last year she has been on a journey of creative intrigue and curiosity in creating music journeys and holding space for people to express themselves through movement. Having completed the dance awake practitioner training Alice has now begun running dance awake classes in Cornwall.
She is passionate about discovering the endless repertoire of movement creativity our bodies and minds are capable of and dives into expressive performance improv in her free time. Other passions include nature, trauma healing, laughing, poetry, holding gratitude for the universe, human connection and playing piano.
Duet the Body and Mind
She is dance she is flow
Feelings come’ feelings go
Overwhelm left in the past
Loving awareness forever last
Follow your path
Throw your head back and laugh
Grip passion tight
Loosen the fight
We are dance we are flow
Expectation I let go
Acceptance of now
Please divine tell us how
Surrender your mind
Be irresistibly kind
Let go of its thoughts
With its mean old taunts
Your body is wise
Promise it never lies
Mind goes criticise
Body says na let’s synthesize
And harmonise
With the truest of lullabies
We got this guys
We will not compromise
Take back our power and rise
We are dance we are flow
Together we grow
