"As a child I learned that dance was my safe place, my fairy-tale land, to dive into myself, to escape and live out the magic of my mind. Dance transformed into a space to process emotions and feel the fullness of my humanness. Now I experience this dance as my place to witness. With a deep awareness I dance to create my everyday with an open heart.
Sharing these gifts is my greatest pleasure." ~Nik

"Nik's facilitation brought me into the vast layers of myself; I cried, I laughed, I felt my body vibrate.
I loved it all." ~Joyce 
"Dancing with Nik is like learning to play a game of body curiosity, emotional awareness, and interactive dynamics. With a playful spirit and skillful suggestions, Nik gently guides you through an ebb and flow of self discovery translated into authentic movement." ~ Iona Jones |
Accessibility Information & Frequently Asked Questions...
Is there Music?
•Yes, and there will be moments with no music where you are invited to listen to your internal rhythm. What do I wear? Do I need to bring anything? •Wearing yoga or sweat pants make it easy to move. Some people find freedom in their movement by wearing clothing that it more loose and others form fitting. Your comfort is most important. •We dance barefoot. If you have non-street shoes that do not scuff the wood floors, please wear what makes you comfortable and supported. •Bring a bottle of water, there is not a water fountain. Bathrooms... There are two ALL Gender Restrooms down the hall from the ballroom and Women's/Men's Restrooms upstairs. "As a man in my late 60's that does not dance; I experienced a lot of apprehension going into Nik's dance class. They assured me that if I wasn't a dancer then this was the perfect class for me. In Nik's class I was moved to tears because I felt there were no expectations put on me. I did not need to be anyone. I could purely enjoy myself and what I was doing without external pressures. I still do not consider myself a dancer, and would happily take Nik's class again!" ~Louie |

What is Soul Motion™?
Soul Motion™ founded by Vinn Arjuna Martí is a practice of the everyday, a space where we come together to dance, to explore our connection to Self, to others, to our community and to move with the magic of life beyond understanding.
Using guided movement inquiries, embodied curiosity, subtle sensing we will co-create a space to dive deep into playfulness, compassion, authentic relating and the magic of being human.
We play with world music, electronic beats, silence, movement and stillness to support us in reconnecting with our bodies and communities. We co-create a non-verbal, barefoot, mutually respectful and substance-free space with an atmosphere of safety, sacred intention, healing and fun.
