Free Your Dance™
Break Free From Rigid Movement Patterns & Rediscover the Joy of Dancing Like You
Free Your Dance is for the visionaries who already know that dance is medicine — the coaches, creatives, healers and heart-led leaders who feel life most deeply, and know their body holds more wisdom, freedom and expression that they have yet to discover...
You love to dance — but you keep finding yourself moving the same way, over and over.
The same patterns. The same shapes. The same holding back.
Free Your Dance gives you the somatic tools to break those patterns and discover new ways of moving — so you can feel more confident, creative, and free in your body (and your life).
A creative lab where your dance becomes a map of your inner landscape.
Dance as discovery.
Dance as a return to your natural aliveness.
Who This Is For
Free Your Dance is designed for people who already know the power of movement and want to go deeper.
It’s for you if you:
⚬ You love to dance but keep repeating the same movement habits (and want to expand your range)
⚬ You want to feel more confident in how you move (without needing to be a "good dancer")
⚬ You crave more play, spontaneity, and joy in your body (and less self-consciousness)
⚬ You're a coach, creative, or leader who wants a somatic practice that supports your nervous system and creativity
⚬ You want to understand yourself through movement (not just mindset work)
What makes Free Your Dance™ different is the Niio Dance approach:
somatic awareness → listening to your internal experience
creative movement principles → expanding your range
nature-based frameworks → offering grounding and life affirming metaphors and imagery
non-linear learning → discovery instead of performance
inner permission → spaciousness instead of pressure
You’re not trying to “get better at dance.” You’re learning to move in a way that feels like you.
A sense of what this journey feels like:
Great course, really enjoying it. Love your instruction and the lovely backdrops, and the meditations are really beautiful.
Also its really helping with my lower back, which has been giving me a lot of pain but is getting better and better.
And my husband has noticed I'm being a lot more expressive in my dancing!

What This Course Helps You Shift
As you move through the seven principles, something subtle but powerful begins to move: Your body starts to organise itself differently. Your awareness sharpens. Your movement patterns — the ones you’ve carried for years — soften, expand, open as you expand your inner landscape.
You begin to feel:
More confident in how you move
You'll discover new pathways in your body and break the patterns that kept you stuck
More creative and expressive
Your movement becomes a gateway to new ideas, perspectives, and ways of seeing yourself
More at ease in your body
You'll learn how to soften tension, regulate your nervous system, and return to joy (without forcing it)
"I liked the conversational way in which you directed our dance movements, and the suggestions that you made that included, as well as movement, ways of perceiving; ways of thinking about and feeling the sensations of our bodies. I learned a lot about how I move, and how I could perhaps move, given enough practice and attention. There was so much that was new in the sessions and I will continue to use the recordings long into the future, as I carry on exploring. There only remains to say, thank you Helene, for the gift you have given. Bless you."

What's included:
A structured yet intuitive journey that blends somatic intelligence, expressive movement and creative embodiment.
7 Core Modules
Each module explores one universal movement principle:
Module 1 — Initiation
Discover where movement begins in your body — and how you initiate action in your life.
Module 2 — Weight & Balance
Explore grounding, shifting, and releasing — the somatic language of support and trust.
Module 3 — Travel
Play with rhythm, pace, and pathways — and how you move through change.
Module 4 — Space
Expand your spatial awareness and discover the freedom that comes when you shift your boundaries.
Module 5 — Shape
Explore form, direction, and gesture to expand your expressive vocabulary.
Module 6 — Dynamics
Play with intensity, softness, precision, and release — the texture of your energy.
Module 7 — Rhythms
Dance with tempo, timing, and flow — and reconnect to your natural rhythm.
These seven principles are universal. They organise movement — and they illuminate who you are becoming.
What you receive in each Module:
An Introductory Teaching Video (5 mins)
A grounded exploration of that module’s core movement principle. Think of it as a creative briefing for your body — weaving dance science, somatic wisdom and metaphor in a way that feels clear, inspiring and actionable.
A Guided Warm-Up (10–15 mins)
Designed to open your joints and wake up your body and breath. These warm-ups work beautifully as standalone practices when you need a quick reset.
Reflection Prompts
Gentle journaling questions that invite insight without analysis. You’re not “studying” yourself — you’re simply noticing the patterns your body reveals.
Two Guided Dance Journeys (20–25 mins each)
The heart of the course. These journeys blend somatic cues, creative imagery and conscious movement prompts — all set to professionally mixed and mastered musical landscapes. Each journey includes both video and MP3, so you can go screen-free whenever you want.
A Guided Meditation (10–15 mins) + MP3
A sensory, grounding practice to integrate what your body discovered. These meditations help you make meaning from the movement — not cognitively, but somatically.
Private Community
A quiet, supportive space for connection and shared discoveries.
Dedicated Course App
Use the app for ease, flow and easy offline access.
Lifetime Access!

Meet Your Guide Helene Su
Hi, I'm Helene, creator of Niio Dance and Free Your Dance — a movement methodology that weaves somatic intelligence, creative expression, and east-west wisdom into grounded transformation.
As a British-born Chinese woman, I grew up between two cultures — often feeling out of place until I discovered dance. Movement became my way home: to my body, my voice, and my creative truth. Over 20+ years, I've studied across the UK, India, Thailand, and Japan, exploring yoga, meditation, somatic therapies, and embodied practices.
Free Your Dance is an invitation to reconnect with your body's natural intelligence, expand your expressive range, and discover the aliveness that emerges when you move without self-editing. I'm honored to guide you on this journey. — Helene

FAQ - Can I do this course if I have an injury?
Some of the dances in the modules are quite energetic. So depending on the nature of your injury, you may need to move in a much more inward and gentle way, but there is always the possibility to move, even with quite 'severe' injuries. However, somatics is about 'listening into' your body and what it needs. You probably already know the answer. Or get the course, but know that you will revisit it again for a full bodied dance experience when your injury subsides.
How much space do I need to move in?
Whilst it is optimal to be able to move freely in a wide expanse of space (which is one of the benefits of moving outdoors!), we can also move in much smaller spaces. Plus we can move and travel in many directions, not just across the floor!
Do I need any special clothes or equipment.
Dress to be comfortable, in unrestricted clothes, and layers in case you get warm. You may need to take care of dancing on a carpet with bare feet, in case of friction, but normally bare feet is best.
I have two left feet. Can I really learn to dance?
The main issue is not your potential ability to move, as dance covers all kinds of movement - subtle, awkward, clumsy, irregular, erratic as well as slick or athletic. Dropping any expectations or judgements around yourself and your abilities is the first step in responding to your question! In doing so and relaxing, you may find that your perceived challenge around movement and dance may gradually dissolve.
I am already a confident dancer. What can I gain?
As you sense into your body inspired by my cues, you may find new ways of moving that you had not done before. You will expand your movement potential, and experience a more clear and grounded presence that can filter into your interactions in life. You will 100% have a new experience of moving and being in your body.
Is this course very similar to Reclaim You?
No. Free Your Dance focuses on movement principles, and somatic exploration with those inherent internal structures. Reclaim You is a deeper emotional, reflective, energetic and expressive self-leadership journey. They complement each other, eg if you take this after Reclaim You, you may experience your movement with new depth and resonance.
