๐ธ๐ฉ THE SUDAN SOLIDARITY COLLECTIVE ๐ธ๐ฉ
On Saturday 31 January 2026, we will be leading a Heels Dance Class to raise funds for The Sudan Solidarity Collective.
The Sudan Solidarity Collective formed in response to the outbreak of a brutal war in Sudan. They resource grassroots civil society formations working on the frontlines of relief efforts in communities that have been hardest hit by militarised state violence.
50% of all proceeds will be donated, with the remaining funds used to cover the costs of running the event.
Our class is an invitation to explore embodiment and eros through dance. We invite you to embrace creativity and personal power through mindful stretching, movement, and sensual choreography.
๐ธ๐ฉ AN OVERVIEW ๐ธ๐ฉ
๐บ Grounding & Warm Up ๐บ
The class will begin with a short introduction to The Sudan Solidarity Collective, followed by a grounding exercise. We will then lead a full-body warm up focused on flexibility, mobility, and relaxation. Deep stretching can support tension relief, injury prevention, and increased range of motion.
๐บ Across the Floor ๐บ
In dance, โAcross the Floorโ refers to combinations of steps and movements performed while travelling from one end of the studio to the other. These exercises strengthen technique, retention, endurance, musicality, and proprioception, while preparing dancers for choreography by developing fundamental skills.
๐บ Heels Choreography ๐บ
We will then teach a short heels choreography. The class will be intermediate level, however all levels are welcome.
๐บ Reflection & Cool Down ๐บ
The class will conclude with a gentle cool down for restoration and relaxation, followed by a moment of collective reflection.
