Somatic Dance Playlist

This playlist was created for those moments when you just need to move.

When your body feels tense, your mind is racing, or your energy feels stuck we— this is your reminder that movement is medicine.

Some days you might feel called to hit shuffle and let the music choose the journey for you — a little wild, a little unpredictable, a little magical. Other days, you may find yourself intentionally selecting a song that matches your energy… or gently nudges it in a new direction.

Let your body guide how you move.

Let the music meet you where you are.

💃🏼 Somatic Dance to Release Stress and Anxiety

Somatic dance isn’t about performing.

It’s not about how you look — it’s about how you feel.

It’s about reconnecting with your body, releasing what’s been stuck inside, and moving with freedom.

Because energy needs to move.

And when we’re holding it in — the stress, the anxiety, the tension, the rage — it has nowhere to go but deeper.

So instead of letting it pile up, we move it through.

We shake.

We stomp.

We dance.

We feel.

✨ The Why

If you’ve been living in survival mode — anxious, tense, or constantly “on” — your nervous system is craving release.

Somatic dance is that release.

It’s nervous system regulation through movement.

It’s stress leaving the body.

It’s you reclaiming your rhythm, your flow, your joy.

There’s no choreography here.

It’s you, baby — all you.

Move your body.

Release the trauma.

Express yourself.

Let your body lead the way.

🌀 How to Start

Step 1: Put on whatever music calls to you.

Something that grounds you, inspires you, or makes you feel alive.

Step 2: Move however you want.

Start with your feet.

Add your legs.

Bring in your arms.

Kick, march, stomp, shake.

Shake it out to the side.

Shake it to the sky.

Sway.

Goddess arms.

Body rolls.

Swing your arms, shimmy your shoulders, roll your hips, let it all move.

Step 3: When you’re ready, come to stillness.

Take a deep breath.

Blow it out with sound — loud and free.

Feel the energy flow through you.

That’s your body releasing. That’s healing in motion.

🪶 Why It Works

Our physical bodies store energy — and with it, trauma.

Fear. Grief. Sadness. Rage.

They all live somewhere within us until we give them permission to move.

When you dance, shake, or move with intention, those old emotions start to shift.

Long-held memories and sensations rise to the surface to be seen, felt, and finally released.

It’s not always pretty, and it’s definitely not polished — but it’s real.

This is what our ancestors knew:

movement was medicine.

It was prayer.

It was how they healed and connected to themselves and the world around them.

⚡️ Somatic Dance Feels Like…

Freedom.

Safety.

Aliveness.

Connection.

It’s laughing and crying and moving energy you didn’t even know you were holding.

It’s feeling safe in a body that’s only ever known anxiety.

It’s reclaiming joy, self-expression, and inner calm — one beat, one breath, one movement at a time.

🌙 Final Thought

Dance like no one’s watching — because truly, it doesn’t matter if they are.

What matters is how your nervous system feels when you let go.

Dance to move energy.

Dance to feel free.

Dance to reconnect with yourself, your body, your spirit, your truth.

Dance it out, friends.

Your body knows the way home.
