Neighbourhood Moves | Hamilton Workshop Series
Overview
Formerly known as move: Here&Now, our monthly nomadic workshop series is back with new name: Neighbourhood Moves.
We’ll be wandering around Hamilton, popping up in new places on the last Saturday of each month, from 2–4PM from October 2025 to March 2026! The vibe? No experience needed, just bring your curiousity and a willingness to move in and with the community!
Each workshop is guided by a different guest facilitator, offering unique perspectives and approaches to movement. Whether you identify as a dancer or not, there’s space for you here.
Why do we do this?
Because dance doesn’t belong to a select few. Because joy, expression, and embodiment are for everyone. Because we believe in disrupting the limiting norms of what dance is “supposed” to look like.
In this space, all bodies are dance bodies. Come move with your friendly neighbours!
What can I expect from each offering?
Each monthly offering dives into a different realm of movement; whether it's open choreography, free-form dance, land-based practice, Kathak, creative play, or somatic movement, you can expect your movement practice to expand and be enriched.
With care at the centre of everything we do, each workshop will include time to enjoy the communal space, with free snacks and refreshments!

How do you want to get there?
October 25th | Open Choreography @ Studio Zee Pilates
Jenna will be sharing choreography influenced by her diverse dance background, incorporating elements of Contemporary, Hip-Hop and Street Dance. With emphasis on storytelling, Harris will cover approaches to movement texture, style and performance. Be sure to come with comfortable sneakers! Open to all levels.
November 29th | Unbound: Dance & Release @ Ore Movement Studio
This workshop invites participants into a two-hour journey of embodied discovery through functional movement and free-form dance. Supported through a sonic landscape by DJ Savage Good, LOR will guide movers into practices that invite curiosity, care, and presence. Through gentle facilitation and an emphasis on the body's inherent wisdom, this workshop will encourage participants to move authentically, whether new to dance or experienced. Together we will explore dance and embodiment not as performance, but as a pathway to belonging, liberation, joy and connection.
December 27th | Honouring Land through Movement Inspirations @ Cotton Factory
This experiential workshop invites participants to connect with the heart of the sky and earth through breath, gentle movement, and improvisational dance, inspired by memories and stories held in the body from a land that holds personal significance. Together, we will explore the Seven Galactic Directions, embody the values of the Dish with One Spoon Treaty, and engage in a process of renewal through connection, movement, and shared experience.
