This year marks ten years since the very first Shake Our Shame Out Group I led in 2015. For me, baladi dance — or as I call it, The Dance of the Womb — is not only an inward journey. It is a living conversation between your inner world and the world around you. It is your body among other bodies — moving, responding, expressing, and connecting.
This lived experience of being a body among other bodies — moving, feeling, and connecting — grew deeper and more alive through my studies and training with the Rationale Expressive Dance Movement Therapy (DMT-ER) School, where I learned that movement is not only a personal expression but also a bridge for profound human connection.
At your centre, your core, lies a bridge between above and below, breath and movement, inner harmony and outer connection. When this centre begins to move, something shifts: your muscles respond, your breath deepens, your awareness expands. You feel the rhythm not only inside you, but also in the space between you and others.
Every circle, every sway, every breath becomes a dialogue between your womb and the world — between your embodied truth and the collective rhythm we all share. You are no longer moving in isolation; you are part of a greater pulse.
When a woman dances from her womb, she is not only healing herself — she is weaving her presence into the shared dance of life, grounding herself in her body while reaching into the world with authenticity and awareness. This dance is a celebration of strength, softness, and the sacred power that lives within us all.
For me, the most sacred moments are when I dance in the presence of many women, honoured to move alongside them.
