Move, Shine, Play, Connect

🌟 Get ready to light up from the inside out! 🌟

Soulshine dance is your invitation to move, play, and reconnect with the spark that makes you feel truly alive. With uplifting music, creative exploration, and the power of community, every session is a chance to shake off stress, boost your energy, and shine with confidence. Sometimes you’ll follow guided steps, sometimes you’ll freestyle, and sometimes you’ll create your own unique moves—always in a way that feels natural and fun for you.

Soulshine dance offers a variety of themed classes, workshops and events designed to reconnect you with your body, creativity, and joy.

Depending on the focus/needs of the group, sessions can include some or all of the following:

  • creative dance

  • contact improvisation

  • mindful movement

  • easy yoga/relaxation

  • nature connection

  • vocal expression/singing

  • dance meditation

  • and more!

Soulshine dance is for every body—no experience needed, just a willingness to explore and shine from the inside out. Each session is an invitation to move freely, express authentically, and share in the energy of community. They are guided in a way that’s welcoming, playful and adaptable for all levels.

“Theme” examples: Together-in-Motion, Rise & Shine, Free Expression, Feeling Good, For the Beauty of the Earth, Moving into Love, and more!

 FAQs

  • It depends what session I am running and who it is for! Generally i always begins with a warm up and end with a cool down.  In the middle of the class we get moving and explore different kinds of movement/dance exercises, improvisations and explorations connected to the focus of the session. This could be solo, in pairs, in groups or with the whole group.

  • All the music is carefully chosen to connect you to different aspects of dance, movement and feeling good!.  My favourite music genres are: world, soul, funk, disco, pop, reggae, musical theatre, instrumental, nature sounds and songs with inspirational lyrics.  You are welcome to sing/sound along!

  • I offer sessions from 1hr to longer workshops Each session is tailored to the focus, theme and needs of the group.

    I also work with people 1-1 - this can just be for one session or for longer. Please contact me if you are interested.

  • Sessions can be tailored for all ages & abilities. Some are more specific. Please look at each individual listing to see if it is appropriate for you.  Some of the movement I do is on the floor so if this is an issue for you you will need to adapt your moves.  If you are unsure please contact me to discuss.

    PLEASE NOTE:

    THIS IS NOT FOR YOU If you are looking for a class with lots of complex choreography or you just want to do your own thing and not follow any structure or guidance for the whole session.

TESTIMONIALS

  • The theme of ‘love’ was perfect for the workshop and I loved the selection of songs that Vicky had chosen to go with the theme. It was a great mix of movement and dance with also a chance to explore expression in dance. Vicky led the workshop really well and made everyone feel welcome, embraced and relaxed (Sarah)

  • I've been really enjoying the weekly Soulshine dance sessions. I love the mix of all-body gentle stretching, choreographed dance steps to fantastic uplifting music, balance and slow mo techniques, as well as individual interpretation of the rhythms. Soulshine is the only dance that offers this affirming combination of mindful guided exercise and radiant relaxation (Josie)

  • Loved the workshop yesterday. Felt great to share the experience with great surroundings, music and such lively ladies. Thank you Vicky for making me feel completely relaxed atmosphere in your beautiful space. (Fiona)

  • I really love Vicky's classes! Such a great mixture of routine work & free dance with a blissful chill down section plus additional well- being extras, this is a fully rounded & beautiful class. Unique to many other standard types of exercise, plus Vicky is infectious with her bubbly happy nature. You've got to try it! (Heather)

  • It was a wonderful experience of dance, movement, freedom, joy , and deeper inner connection, guided by the wonderful Vicky who creates a safe and comfortable atmosphere for everyone to feel at ease. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to feel good and open up to more love and light! (Paola)

  • I can leave my thoughts at the door, feel the rhythm, let go and just dance. There is no judgement on how I dance. I am left feeling uplifted, grateful and refreshed in body and soul after the classes and that is why I love Vicky's classes and keep coming back (Valerie)

  • I really love attending Vicky's dance classes, because there is a mix of choreographed routines with space for adding your own creative moves, which is just right for me. The music Vicky chooses is perfect - love the different rhythms and styles she uses in the class. The classes give me the opportunity to immerse myself in dance for an hour, which is physically and mentally uplifting, for which I am truly grateful. (Lesley)

  • I attended a 10 week course with Vicky in Creative Dance. Every week I looked forward to the next hour of creative fun to beautiful music that enabled me to express myself through being in touch with how my body moves, and to let my soul shine through. Highly recommended (Rachel)

  • This is to give a personal “thank you” for a wonderful session. I am a very shy, body conscious persona and have been stiff to any movement. I found the session useful and this was the first time in my lifetime I was able to let go of the stiffness and swing with my mind and soul. Thank you (Surinder)

About me….

I am dance artist, facilitator, performer with a passion for creativity, connection, expression and wellbeing. My sessions weave all that I love about dance, movement and connection in a playful explorative way. I  have extensive experience in facilitating a variety of classes, workshops and retreats for over 20 years.

Since a child I loved dancing but didn't think I was good enough - my teacher said I looked like a baby elephant! The dancing fire started to burn inside of me whilst clubbing in my teens and then in my early 20’s I discovered my passion for free expression dance with 5 rhythms and dancing in nature/with drums.  

It was after that, my creative flame sparkled as I started to create my own dance workshops based on what I loved. Then for 12 years I taught the Nia Technique alongside developing my own methods of "dance meditation".  I am a certified mindfulness, movement, meditation teacher and Dancing Mindfulness Facilitator. I have also trained in Groove Dance, Biodanza and Contact Improvisation (I have been running outdoor contact dance jams).  I work with Laban concepts of Creative Dance (taught by Anne Gilbert).  

I now weave all that I love under the name of “Soulshine Dance” - this is my souls work and passion and it is constantly evolving. I am also passionate about moving in nature and bringing people together to connect beyond words.
