Friday Night Dance – Winter/Spring Series

Friday Night Dance is a committed group series blending the subtle pleasures of somatic movement with the freedom of improvisation and music. This space invites exploration, connection, and a deepening relationship with movement.

All returning and new dancers are welcome. We are a supportive, all-gender adult group — we dance, rest, and play with varying soundscapes and light facilitation. While movement is at the heart of our practice, there are occasional moments of guided reflection or verbal sharing to support integration.

We are lucky to have the foundation of over a decade of Friday Night Dance in Totnes!  And while that brings support of long-standing dancers, this is truly a space where everyone is welcome - new-to-dance, returning-to-dance, or seasoned dancers..

About Leela Fisk

I bring 16 years experience of facilitating community dance, over 3000 facilitating hours of supporting personal and collective expressions in non-competitive atmospheres with care. I'm informed by my training with the School of Soul Motion, studies with Anna Halprin and colleagues along with various somatic movement practices. I have been working in education since 2000. 

I also lead a Level 1 Personal Embodiment and Level 2 Facilitator Training for the Devon School of Soul Motion along with other ongoing groups for women and families locally in Totnes as part of Movement for Life community group, Totnes Dance Collective and other initiatives.

If we've never met, you can meet me and community here: https://vimeo.com/450821255

In the event that I'm unwell, my partner Adam Griffin (certified Soul Motion teacher & Friday Night Dance participant) would cover-lead an evening. In the unlikely event that we are both unwell then one of our graduates (who also attends the group ongoingly) would lead the session. 

Please feel welcome to join, any questions be in touch.

Relational Awareness

We foster good relations in the dance. We generate inclusive community. We feel it's real testimony to have been able to co-exist sensitively where group members also have external relationships such as therapist/client or ex-partners within the group. We do not recommend joining the group afresh if you have unresolved issues with someone who attends — please check with me first if you are unsure. For anyone in a professional capacity wanting to check about possible clients or vice versa, please contact me directly — we check by initials in the first instance. We (Adam and myself) run several other groups that I can point you to if needed.

Cancellation Policy

If you’re unable to attend after payment:

• No refunds are available.
• However, you may transfer your place to someone else — provided they start by the second session.
