What to expect
Primal Flow is my newest creation for Tribes, and it brings together so much of what I love about movement: mobility, agility, playfulness and the freedom to explore.
Watching my little boy grow has made this feel more personal. At just four months old, he is discovering his body every day. Reaching, pushing, turning, trying again. Nothing is separate: his whole body joins in. I find myself watching him with so much wonder. After all my years of studying and teaching movement, here he is, reminding me how much intelligence is already within us.
It makes me wonder how much of that curiosity we lose along the way. How our movement becomes more familiar and predictable, while our bodies still have so many possibilities. I feel an urge to explore those possibilities again.
In this anniversary special, we'll move close to the floor, reach, rotate, shift direction and explore movement in different planes. We'll combine mobility work with fun, flowing sequences that invite coordination and agility, with room to try things, wobble and find your own way through.
For me, Primal Flow is about reconnecting with that instinct to move and discover. Giving ourselves permission to be beginners in our own bodies again, and seeing where curiosity takes us.
What you'll take away
• Mobility and agility through fun, flowing sequences
• Movement in different planes, close to the floor
• Permission to be a beginner in your own body again
How to book
For our 10-year anniversary, we’re hosting a weekend of beautiful, specially created classes, with a few surprises along the way to thank you for being part of Tribes.
Book as you would any other open class, using your membership, class card or pass. Spots are limited, so book early!
Please be mindful when booking: for this weekend only, we’re using a 12-hour cancellation window. You can cancel free of charge up to 12 hours before your special starts. If you can’t join us, cancelling in time gives someone on the waiting list enough notice to take your place and helps us avoid empty spots. A €7.50 fee applies to late cancellations and no-shows.
All classes have a waiting list. If a spot becomes available, you’ll receive a message and have 60 minutes to claim it.

True movement can't be separated from the moment it's made, and everything the dancer feels in it. Without embodiment, movement becomes mechanical, an empty shell. I love observing the differences between people and bringing a body to the point where it clicks and moves freely.
