What is a Conscious Dance challenge?
Conscious Dance is unchoreographed, intentional, free flow, creative, mindful movement for the purposes of authentic self-expression, self-discovery, interpersonal connectedness, and personal healing / growth.
​
Conscious Dance supports dancers to relieve stress, release and integrate repressed emotions, heal the past, creatively express themselves, quiet the mind, and connect with inner wisdom.
​
A recent UCLA study found that the more often you practice Conscious Dance, the greater and longer lasting the benefits.
​
In this challenge, you are invited to practice Conscious Dance for 5 to 30+ min a day for 30 days, so that you can experience the benefits of a daily practice.
