What it's like to dance with us

When it is Us who fill the room, then it is all about connecting to one another as we are overarching our limits together. This is about holding on to that hope that there must be more to life than always trying to achieve something, than crouching in front of the computer all day... it must be more than always trying to be somewhere other than here.
This is about the belief that life itself is moving, it's sharing and accepting. The feelings that are sometimes squeezing your chest so hard you can barely breathe, and other times caressing your soul can all be found in, expressed and lived through moving.

Our main focus is on sharing, so that more and more of us can reach that point where we can get a sense of who we are and let it all go while dancing.

Our classes/sessions/choreographic processes should become a safe place: to grow as a dancer and not only just a dancer. To become more resilient, be able to change your mindset quickly, dare to be goofy, find the bravery inside yourself.

"I HIGHLY recommend Sophie's contemporary dance series. I took her 2 hr workshop and it felt amazing.
I haven't danced in over a decade but the way Sophie instructed made it so fun, comfortable, and joyful. She is incredible to watch and learn from; I feel privileged to have such a talented dance instructor in our little community!"

"Sophie's classes are an exhilarating, joyful, free flow of self- expression that empowers you to be creative and makes you love your body and the movement it is capable of. They provide a non-judgmental space to explore and develop techniques in collaboration with Sophie and other participants. Recommended for anyone who loves to dance, play, and explore new ways of pushing themselves to try new ways to move in a community of like-minded people."

Vicky Jones
participant of the Rossland Groovessense series

"... The dancers here are like a second family to me, offering unconditional acceptance and support both on and off the dance floor.
Sophie, in particular, exudes a nurturing presence that envelops you without physical touch. This space is nothing short of a miracle—a place that every person deserves to experience. Without it, I might not even believe such a haven exists."

Zsuzsi Horánszky
dancer from the Hungarian dance courses

"...Here you can learn, you can make mistakes, you can encourage others and you can lean on to each other - literally as well - .
You can completely let go, be free and just enjoy the moment.I’ve already learned so much and am still constantly learning about myself. I could even get rid of certain barriers I didn’t even know I had..."

Gabor Szabo
dancer from the Budapest dance courses

"...Transforming thoughts into movement, accepting what is. Embracing and letting go of feelings with the help of our pulsing breathing. It’s not psychotherapy, and yet it heals. These walls guard the memory of a lot of sweat, smiles and personal grief..."
