The Motherline believes that our Friday dance class is such a powerful and unique form of connecting and empowering people, that we are bringing Planet Dance to more locations! Our resident artist and dance instructor extraordinaire, Ariadne Grace, started the Planet Dance class that The Motherline was born from, with our Illinois Valley Friday Planet Dance!
And, Planet Dance will be coming soon to Jackson County as well, with a monthly session at the Ashland Food Co-op!
Planet Dance in Your Town
If you are inspired and want to start a Planet Dance where you live, we can help you, just like we did in Three Rivers Oregon, where Planet Dance was started by Alisa Looney.
Planet Dance at Your Event
We bring Planet Dance to your special event so you can offer opportunities for deeper connection through movement. We will customize a class around your event needs and goals.
Move Beyond the words and experience deeper connection through dance.
Our bodies are the closest to nature we will ever be, and it follows that dancing together makes us a force of nature. Planet Dance is for every body, across age, ethnicity, gender, and physical ability.
A Planet Dance workshop is for:
Company retreats
Staff development
Community events
Private parties
Your town
YOU!

When we engage our bodies in expressing the weather of our hearts, we impact human terrain, just as the earth’s weather forms the topography upon which we live. Dancing is the world’s oldest art form, empowering us to connect without triggering or reductive words, body to body, heart to heart, soul to soul. When we engage in this dance, motivated by our natural and intuitive movement pathways, we find ourselves on the road toward collaboration and healing. We use our bodies as the force for good they were meant to be, and in doing so, release trauma, open new portals for flow, and catalyze healing of earth body and human body simultaneously.
In a Planet Dance workshop you will remember what it feels like to stand up in your body again, opening your heart space. You will learn the courage it takes to really see and listen to each other. You will release inner thoughts and feelings that don’t serve you. You will smile. You will laugh. You might cry. But that will be ok because you will be held by a whole community, dancing with you. You will remember your love for the earth beneath your feet, beneath the floor, beneath the concrete. You will make movement toward your dream of a protected planet that is habitable and thriving for our children.
