## This session
This is an open Uncommon Club session focused on movement and expression. Guided, music-led and open-ended, without strict choreography, mirrors or pressure to perform.
You’ll be invited to move in your own way, take small risks, or simply observe and feel what’s there. The form is loose by design. The space is held and welcoming.
No experience needed. Come as you are. Join in, take a step back, or ease your way in.

She creates guided group spaces where people are invited to reconnect with their bodies through rhythm, presence, and gentle prompts, without choreography or performance pressure. Her approach is calm, intuitive, and accessible, meeting people where they are.

## What is Uncommon Club?
Uncommon Club creates guided group sessions built around shared novelty, doing something unfamiliar together, in a way that feels safe, human, and intentional.
We believe that when people step into a new experience at the same time, without knowing exactly what will happen, habits soften, curiosity opens, and connection becomes more natural.
That’s why Uncommon Club sessions are:
- carefully guided and consent-led,
- designed around presence rather than performance,
- and kept partly a surprise.

## Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Who is Uncommon Club for?
Uncommon Club is for any adult. You don't need to be a performer or social butterfly, just someone open to exploring horizons beyond the everyday.
❓ What if I realize I don't want to participate?
That's fine. A "no" is as bold as a "yes". You can always step back or observe instead of joining in, and this will be explained and emphasised at the start of every experience.
❓ I struggle with strangers. Will it be awkward?
Our guides are trained in spaceholding and use a unique event process to make connection flow easily and naturally. It's structured so that everyone feels included without pressure.
