Thomas Gross

Thomas is a conscious movement teacher with more than ten years of experience, an empathic DJ, and the founder of Dance of Life. He is also a counsellor trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which grounds the practice in an evidence-based approach to psychological flexibility — being present, opening up, and doing what matters.

Be present, open up and do what matters.

Dance of Life is a conscious movement practice that celebrates our zest for life. It is a fusion of principles, tools and skills from mindful movement and modern science.

Dance of Life is rooted in the conviction that the dance has something to teach us about life. Whatever we practice with conscious attention and repetition strengthens pathways we come to draw upon with ease; conscious movement is no different. It serves our capacity to act mindfully on our values; to be present, open up, and do what matters.

What to expect?

A Dance of Life session can be joyous and emotional, simple and ordinary, deep and profound. Typically rooted in a circle of the elements as a holding frame---Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and Ether---we move through crescendos and decrescendos, dance together and on our own, receiving and expressing body, heart, and mind.
