Dancing from within

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.

A Somatic Dance evening — dancing freely togetherGuided by Jördis Jakubczick
The Somatic Dance approach

Embody · Embrace · Empower

A clear threefold process: coming home in your body, embracing what arises, and stepping into your power through free expression.

01

Embody

Through touch and movement exploration you come home in your body and deepen your body awareness.

02

Embrace

You embrace what arises — emotions, vulnerability, shadow — as fuel for expression.

03

Empower

In free dance, solo or in connection with others, you step into your power and authentic expression.

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.

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.

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.
