From touch to dance,
from dance to freedom.
Somatic Dance is dancing from the body. Through touch, improvisation and free dance you discover the wisdom of your body — alone, with a partner or in a group, always in a safe and playful space.
Guided by Jördis JakubczickEmbody · Embrace · Empower
A clear threefold process: coming home in your body, embracing what arises, and stepping into your power through free expression.
Embody
Through touch and movement exploration you come home in your body and deepen your body awareness.
Embrace
You embrace what arises — emotions, vulnerability, shadow — as fuel for expression.
Empower
In free dance, solo or in connection with others, you step into your power and authentic expression.
“Our body is nature: with its rivers and streams, its hills and valleys.”
The six principles of the dance
Six principles carry every evening, course and session — from the first connection with yourself to the moment the dance carries you.
‘The dance begins with you’
The foundation is a good connection with yourself. From there you can truly connect with the other.
‘There is a safe group dynamic’
And it is actively guarded. So you feel free to show yourself.
‘We slow down and grow still to feel the body’
A safe ground is offered in which to develop your body awareness.
‘The body speaks’
We listen to the wisdom of our cells. Connective tissue, bones, muscles and organs speak their own language.
‘The dance unfolds’
Every dance moment is unique. Your creative contribution shapes the interplay.
‘It dances you’
We surrender to our body’s wisdom. It carries us into the creative flow.

What dancers experience
The sessions with Jordis were inspiring and impressive. A holistic approach that — in my experience — ranges from very concrete and physical to spiritual and intangible. Innovative and brave.
Translated from Dutch · view original
De sessies bij Jordis ervoer ik als inspirerend en indrukwekkend. Een holistische aanpak van — in mijn beleving — heel concreet en fysiek tot spiritueel en ongrijpbaar. Vernieuwend en moedig.
In our sessions I discovered a physical freedom I hadn't known before. The process was a healing process for me, a physical and mental liberation.
Translated from Dutch · view original
In onze sessies heb ik een fysieke vrijheid ontdekt die ik tot dan toe niet kende. Het werkproces was voor mij een helingsproces, een fysiek en geestelijk bevrijdingsproces.
Jordis is a very loving, devoted woman — soft, feminine and strong! As a client you are at the centre and you feel the warmth. She goes further than many other approaches.

Jordis is een zeer liefdevolle, toegewijde vrouw — zacht, vrouwelijk en krachtig! Jij als cliënt staat in het middelpunt en voelt de warmte. Zij gaat verder dan veel andere trajecten.
