Sweat Body
lead and follow dance aerobics
A perfectionist recovery lead and follow dance aerobics practice. Absolutely not designed to be done perfectly, but as a place for you to let loose and embrace pleasure, expression, feeling and moving. Each month I release a new Monthly Mixtape and we dance the same choreography all month until we let it go at the release party and move on to a new frequency.
This is a practice for reclaiming bodily agency and the courage to express your own unique magic, on a dance floor with other gorgeous groovers, to music that makes us feel ALIVE. Learn coordination and kick ass cardio endurance, whilst channelling pleasssssurrrrrre.
There is really nothing else like this in Berlin, believe me - I’ve looked everywhere! It’s a fast paced, friendly dance work-out with full permission for you to show up and be exactly as you need to be.
We dance Sweat Body twice a week, on Wednesday nights and Thursday lunch times. We dance when we’re happy, we dance when we’re sad, angry or heart broken. We dance when we need to dance, when we want to dance. We dance to be with life, in celebration as well as in grief and to be with each other and to be you, just as you are.
I offer you Sweat Body as a practice to learn how to hold space for yourself and the mind blowingly beautiful fullness of YOU.
I’ve dreamed of teaching dance aerobics since I was a teenager. Over the years, my heavily disco influenced barre classes have morphed their way into grapevines, two-steps and pony kicks. Dance classes can be great fun, but they can also bring up a lot of stuff for everyone. It’s easy to slip into comparing and feeling not good enough, so I promised that Sweat Body would try and do the opposite of this. Sweat Body was born in 2022, at it’s heart, it’s a practice of holding space for yourself as you lovingly stretch your comfortzone and take up space in your body and in the room.
We dance on Wednesday nights 18:30 at Authentic Body Control, Boddinstr. 4
AND
on Thursday afternoons at 12:30 at Authentic Body Control, Naunynstr. 38
p.s. NEW BIGGER LOCATION COMING IN FEB 2025!
A huge and loving shout out to Pony Sweat and the team behind this epically non-competitive queer dance aerobics practice. Deeply grateful to the internet for connecting us through time and space. I’ve learnt so much about how to take up space and move however the f*ck I want by dancing with Pony Sweat and that in turn has shaped and influenced the way Sweat Body evolves. I <3 you forever Pony Sweat!
