ATTUNING TO THE CELTIC CALENDAR​ - DANCE YOUR LIFE JOURNEYS
​
In 2024-2025, we will align our dance journeys with the Celtic calendar, beginning on 31st of October, 2024, and concluding on 21st of September, 2025. Our first session on 9th of November will celebrate the new year by honouring Halloween (Samhain) and our ancestral roots. Throughout the year, we will dance during the key Celtic festivals, including Yule (Christmas), Imbolc (St. Brigid's Day), Ostara (Spring Equinox), Beltane (May Day), Litha (Summer Solstice), Lughnasadh (Lammas, possibly online), and Mabon (Autumn Equinox). Join us as we connect with ancient traditions and celebrate these powerful seasonal shifts.

Testimonials
I love Alda’s Dance Your Life workshops. She holds the space very gently and takes us on a journey through a theme with just enough guidance to inspire. I enjoy having an invitation that I can interpret and own myself. Every time I dance with Alda, it’s a deeply impactful and insightful experience
Louise
I always look forward to attending a dance your life workshop as it makes me feel in the flow of life.It is a safe place to relax and enjoy movement, while also letting emotions come up and out of myself naturally. I always feel relaxed and have more energy afterwards.Thankyou Alda for the time and thought that go into these sessions
Jane
Dance your life is a challenge to accept that transformation and realisation can come through marrying physical movement, intention and openness to change - it is something of a surprise that such processes can be joyous and fun as well as profound
