about

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.

About last Friday... It was a total vibe. The dance floor was swelling with open hearts and sweating to the beats of Jo Woods. Magnificent space holding. Thank you Jo for creating raw and real magic with us. - Madhu Henry (Ecstatic Dance Melbourne)
