Pulse
May 14
Drop-in Dance
South Devon, UK
Pulse is a monthly dance space at Studio 6 in Dartington.
We gather on the dancefloor. We use movement practice, music and collective intention to invite a vibrant field of energy and presence for ourselves and for the wider community.
Pulse is part of the programme of Thursday dances at Studio 6, along with Rosie Perks' fortnightly closed group and David Ellis' open Dance Home monthly sessions.
VISION
Pulse is born from a desire to go deeper into the dance in a drop-in context.
It’s a conscious dance space rooted in focussed movement practice as a pathway to liberation.
The intention is also to cultivate and grow a regular space where we can connect, journey, and use the dance to move through whatever is arising that month: in our lives and in the wider context.
.
STRUCTURE
The sessions usually feature a warm-up, some teaching and a dancing journey through the Waves. There are invitations to connect with other dancers and move in the group field – along with full encouragement to be who you are in the moment.
These dances are open: you can come to one, some, or all – as you like or are able.
And: there is an invitation is to participate regularly and be part of co-creating a space that holds depth, connection and continuity in the dance. A bundle discount is offered to dancers booking all the sessions in a series at once.
.
MAPS
The teaching framework for Pulse is The Way of the Dancer, Christian’s evolving synthesis of 5Rhythms and Movement Medicine with Taoist, Animist and contemporary Subcultural approaches to the dancefloor and community ritual space.
Pulse is open to anyone wanting to dance: bodies are welcomed in all embodiments of ability, shape, gender, ethnicity, neuronature, age and culture. Prior experience of conscious dance practice can be helpful but is not essential.
If you’re new to this kind of dancing, please let us know on the day so we can orient you.

Context for Pricing:
A three-tier contribution system is offered in recognition that we have wide disparities in our access to financial resources. If those more well-resourced contribute more, this helps the dancefloor be accessible to dancers with less finance. Please consider the wider context and use your integrity in choosing what level you contribute. Thanks!
Please note: Tickets at the lowest level are limited.
If you are able, please pay the middle or higher level contributions, leaving the lower level tickets for those who need them. If the lowest level of contribution is out of reach for you, please contact us about bursaries.
