Jo Woods (they/them) is a catalytic force of nature - a senior Open Floor Movement Teacher with a decade of teaching & DJ experience, an Open Floor mentor, and an Art in Motion supervisor based in Melbourne, Australia.

Jo weaves over 25 years of rich meditation practice into every conscious dance class and workshop they lead.

With a wild spirit, a playful sense of humor, and exquisitely crafted soundscapes, Jo creates transformative spaces where bodies can move freely, hearts can open, and creativity can flow.
​
They are the beating heart of Dance in the Hills (Olinda), the visionary behind 'Dance in the Wild' (Gembrook), and a regular guest facilitator at Conscious Dance events in Melbourne.

Along the way, Jo has produced and taught bold Gender Bender, Creative Disruption, and Mindful Movement workshops across Australia & Aotearoa (NZ).

Jo continues to inspire dancers of all backgrounds and abilities to step toward their full power, break through old habits, and discover new pathways towards inner freedom and wisdom.

Meet Ned 🌿

Since discovering movement at theatre school in 2021, Ned has immersed herself in Contact Improvisation, training in Madrid and exploring the practice through somatic movement, contemporary dance, creation and performance.

Her work is deeply rooted in gravity, surrendering into the fall, embracing imbalance and learning to dance with rather than against the forces acting on our bodies.

Now based in Victoria, she teaches Contact Improvisation on the Surf Coast and in Melbourne, while creating movement spaces that explore the relationship between body, land, food, time and community.

Come move, explore and get curious with her at Dance in the Wild. ✨
