Dance-Move Moorooka is a freeform dance practice that is inclusive and non-judgemental. We dance on the lands of the Jagera people. It's a great workout!

We acknowledge their ownership of this land and pay our respects to the elders; past, present and future. The music: Our playlist is based (loosely) on the work of Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms movement meditation practice. You can read about it on the internet https://www.5rhythms.com/
There will be a lot of music you may not have heard before and some you may re
cognise, from various genres including down tempo, deep house, dubstep, drum n bass, techno, trance, jazz-funk, world music and experimental. The music set is designed to get you moving by warming you up slowly and then building up to a crescendo, before cooling and calming you right back down again towards the end. There are a few guidelines that we follow:
We don't talk on the dance floor. This is essential to ensure that everyone can focus on being fully immersed in their own little dance bubble (as you would in the comfort of your own lounge room). We do encourage expressive noises such as clapping, whooping and/or laughing. We respect each other’s space and are mindful of others’ physical presence. You may want to interact with others in dance; if you do want to dance with someone, seek consent by using non-verbal communication, make your connection, dance together and then move on. If you get tired, feel free to pop outside and have a rest, a drink, a snack and/or a chat with others but please make sure you are QUIET when entering the dance space again. We dont wear shoes, but you can wear socks. Some people like to sit, lie, or roll around on the floor, so we want to keep the floor nice and clean. Also its quieter without shoes. The event is alcohol and smoke-free.
Our page seems to be getting a lot of attention lately and I’m wondering if people are actually looking for Mooroovin, who have just started some dance sessions in Moorooka. Check it out everyone. We are, unfortunately, closed ( for now). Cheers 💃
We regret to inform everyone that we will be suspending Dance-Move Moorooka, for now. We have had fun but just haven't been getting the numbers we need to break even. We have put a lot of energy into making each month happen, and although we realise that these things can take a while to take off, we just don't have it in us to keep going at this time. We may look at doing a one-off night here and there in the future. We have both really enjoyed the process and meeting some lovely new people, not to mention the joy of dancing intensely and consciously every month. Thanks so much to those who attended and especially to all our 'rent-a-crowd' friends and family who have encouraged us and came along to support us. Thanks also to Brisbane City Council for renting us the excellent venue, the Moorooka Community Centre.
Keep dancing and moving, everyone, Vali and Pascal 😄

Dance-Move is about getting together with other people and moving to music, without fear of judgement or criticism. We turn the lights down. We immerse ourselves in a kind of dance meditation, silently. That sounds pretty serious, but it's actually really fun! We do interact socially, after the dance, so it is also a great way to meet others in your community.

Meet your Dance-Move hosts!
Vali is an educator, visual artist, and events manager. She has over 30 years of experience in community arts festivals and events and loves to organise activities that bring people together to enjoy music, art and dance.
Pascal is a technical creative person working in the audio-visual industry. He worked for many years as a DJ in nightclubs and a radio station in France. Pascal likes to bring people together with his music playlists and create a cosy space for people to dance. He is also a videographer and likes to create video projections to accompany the music.
We both love to dance and move, but have found it difficult to find the right context to enjoy free-form dance here in Brisbane, so we decided to create an event for ourselves and hope that others might enjoy it as well. We love living in Moorooka and would like to offer something fun for community members and others.
