Come as you are
Ocean Dance is a 90-minute guided movement practice held outdoors at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. Through immersive music and gentle spoken guidance, we create a safe space where you’re invited to listen inward and let your body move in whatever way you need.
There is nothing to do, nothing to achieve.
Just a moment to be in your body, within yourself, with each other.
If you already know a conscious dance
If you have danced ecstatic dance or 5Rhythms, the freedom of moving without choreography may feel familiar.
Ocean Dance begins there, but moves in a different direction: inward, toward the body; outward, toward the ocean; and together, toward a deeper relationship with the living world.
It’s guided.
A voice travels with you through the silent-disco headphones, offering gentle prompts, questions, and invitations to return to your breath, follow your inner rhythm, and deepen your connection with the ecosystem around you.
It's outdoors.
This is not a studio with the windows open. This is Ocean Beach in its full, untamed presence: wind, fog, sun, salt, tide, and whatever mystery the ocean brings that day.
By seasons
The theme changes with the season. Each session has a name, following the turning wheel of the year, solstices, equinoxes, full moons, new moons. You never arrive at the same practice twice, just as you never arrive as the same version of yourself.
To honor
The session ends with a small ritual of belonging that reminds us we are part of a community learning to care for one another, the ocean, and the living Earth.
What it isn't
Ocean Dance isn't a dance class.
No choreography. No right way.
There is no right or wrong in this practice, so follow your body's wisdom. Your body knows how it needs to be moved.
Nothing to do, nothing to achieve.
We don't need to perform.
No one is judging, no expectations.
We're not here to escape. We're here to feel it all.
Only you and your body know how it feels to be in your body with your life story these days.

A session, start to finish
“Thank you for saying yes, thank you for staying open. That’s what we practice here, to stay with an open heart.”
“Every time the group shows up, it’s so special. We are going to co-create a safe space for us. Just to feel, to be, to release. And to be you. We honor your authenticity through your creative movement.”
“We are the guests on this land, of the Ohlone tribes that were before us.”
“Allow your breath to move through you as the waves. Let the waves of your breath invite the waters in your mind to relax, to soften.”
“Make funny faces. Do your happy face, your ugly face.”
“Expressing yourself freely, mirroring the ocean, flying with the birds.”
“There is never a sunset like this.”
Everyone is welcome
Ocean Dance is designed for all levels and backgrounds. Dancers and people who have never danced. People who arrive full of energy and people who arrive flattened. All ages, pets, and groups. If you need to take up the whole beach, take it. If you need to lie down, lie down.
Whatever you are experiencing in your body, an invitation just to breathe in, to go through, to release through movement, to shake, to make sound. If you need stillness and lay down, that's an invitation.
Take this practice as you need.
Everyone is welcome.
Come as you are.
No experience needed, just willingness to feel.
ECO-SOMATIC, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
The origin of Ocean Dance
Rooted in eco-somatic principles and the wisdom that emerges when body and nature meet.
In 2020, I created MOVIMIENTO CREATIVO, a methodology that converges into healing practices that have transformed me throughout the journey. It integrates my studies and knowledge as an Ontological Coach, Mindfulness Facilitator, Shamanism Practitioner, Dance Teacher, and Yoga & Flexibility Teacher.
​
During the two years of the pandemic, I moved in the shoreline every single day. And I felt, through my body, the healing and the power of being with nature, in nature, letting myself just be. All of that, in movement, finding my own rhythm.
​
I know you know your dance. I want you to get out of your comfort zone of what you believe your dance is, and explore new ways to move. To find your own rhythm. Because it is in creating that unique movement that we find new ways to move together as well. And that is how, together, we get to create new realities.
​
That’s how Ocean Dance came to be. And continues to, wave after wave.
