A Freeform Dance
+Embodiment Practice
 
Friday Dance Dose, founded in 2021 by Leita Schiemann and joined in collaboration with Ryan Roman in 2022, offers a transformative dance experience held with intention, love, and presence. We are a welcoming and inclusive space for all.
​
Facilitated and DJ’d on alternating-ish weeks by Leita Schiemann and 
Ryan Roman, and occasionally accompanied by guest artists, this is more than just dance—it's an embodiment practice—an invitation to move freely, express authentically, and deepen your connection with your body, integrating yourself more wholly.
 
Dance is medicine! Take your measure. Get your dose.
​
​
The Dance Experience
 
The music is an intuitively curated, ever-evolving mix, selected to support deep embodiment and self-expression. We gather to immerse in the medicine of movement, feeling fully alive and allowing whatever needs to move—MOVE!
​
Together, we create a powerful, magical cauldron of healing that ripples far beyond the dance floor.
​
​
How to Dance?
 
There are no steps to follow and no right or wrong way to move—your body leads the way. You are invited to be with what is, honoring your own experience moment by moment.

✨ Dance wildly or be still or somewhere in between
✨ Dance alone or with others (with consent)
✨ Stay in one spot or move through the space
✨ Feel joy, resistance, release, expansion—whatever arises and let the energy of the emotions move through your body
​
Facilitator verbal cues are gentle suggestions to support embodiment, but you are your ultimate authority.
