Your Body & Mind ӏ Dance it out

Texting has quietly replaced a lot of the conversations we used to have in person.

You don’t have to leave the house, find time, or make plans. And that’s exactly why it’s so easy to get stuck there.

The problem is that warmth doesn’t really happen through a screen. Neither does the feeling of belonging somewhere. You can message people every day and still miss what it’s like to laugh together, make eye contact, or simply spend an hour in the same room.

That’s why we created our solo salsa classes for women — a place to meet in person, share an experience and reconnect with other people.

For one hour, you’re focused on the music, the movement and the people around you. There are conversations between dances, shared laughs and the kind of moments that don’t happen through a screen.

Week after week, familiar faces become your people. You stop feeling like you’re walking into a room full of strangers and start feeling like you’re coming back to a place where you belong.

If you’ve been missing that kind of connection, we’d love to welcome you to a class.

Most of us have spent years learning to push through tiredness, tension and doubt. It works, until it doesn’t.

Dance asks something different. Instead of overriding how you feel, it asks you to notice — how you move, what your body is holding, what it’s trying to tell you. Over time, something shifts: you stop fighting against your body and start moving with it instead.

That’s what we mean by trust. And it doesn’t stay on the dance floor — you carry it into how you hold yourself in daily life, respond under pressure, and approach things you haven’t tried before.

If you’ve been thinking about adding something new into your life, this might be the right time.

Most adults spend a lot of time side by side. Sitting in the same room, scrolling on the same couch, running the same errands. But proximity isn’t the same as a shared experience.

There’s something different about being beginners at the same time — fumbling through a new skill, getting the count wrong, catching the other person mid-mistake and laughing together. It tends to surface a version of someone that doesn’t show up in the usual routine.

That’s part of why couples take up partner dancing.
For the shape it gives an evening — a reason to put the phone away for an hour, and do something neither of you is already good at.

This July, we’re opening a two-month beginner salsa course for couples. Over eight weeks, you’ll work through the basics of leading and following, start hearing the music, and dancing together.

🍍Summer in the city feels different when there’s somewhere to go.

Dance classes are a great way to learn the steps, understand the rhythm, and feel more confident in your body.

⭐️ From July, we’d love to welcome new students to our solo salsa classes.
Whether you have never danced before and simply want to try something new, solo salsa is a great way to stay active, learn a new skill, and spend summer in a good company. No previous experience needed.

We will learn new steps and their variations, work on body movement and technique, and gradually bring everything together into dance combinations 🫡

Classes take place in the centre of Tallinn at Lootsi 8/1:
• Mondays 10:00–11:00
• Thursdays 18:00–19:00

If you have been looking for a way to add a little more movement to your life, we would be happy to meet you.

Today we celebrate the birthday of the person behind Your Body & Mind.

Kamilla is a psychologist, teacher, and someone who has spent years helping people feel more confident, present, and connected through movement.

Behind all of this is a great deal of care, dedication, and the ability to create a space where people feel welcome exactly as they are.

Happy Birthday, Kamilla! ⭐️

Thank you for your energy, passion, and everything you bring to the people around you. We are grateful for your ideas, curiosity, and ability to inspire others to keep growing, both on and off the dance floor.

And now we’d like to give the floor to Kamilla herself:
“I wish everyone to believe in themselves. Despite all the difficulties and pain - continue doing what you love and what is right for you. One of the hardest but the most important things is the art of being yourself. Learn this art and never betray yourself”

Dance is always more than a fun evening, good music, and time spent in good company.
Some changes happen more quietly, almost without you noticing.

Posture changes. People begin to pay attention to how they sit, stand, and move throughout the rest of their day.

The relationship with the body shifts too. It becomes easier to notice signals that used to go ignored: tension, fatigue, or changes in energy levels.

Many people find that, for one hour, everything else stays outside: work, responsibilities, and the endless to-do list. There is simply a regular space to return to yourself.

Sometimes life outside the studio changes as well. People start going out more, meeting new people, and saying yes to things they might have avoided before.

What’s interesting is that almost no one comes to their first class expecting any of this. Most people simply want to learn how to dance, but for many, it becomes something more.

If you’ve been dancing for a while, what has changed for you since your first class?
And if you stopped coming, what made you step away?

When people first come to a dance class, they usually have a reason for starting.

Some want to feel more confident around strangers. Others want a hobby that gets them out of the house. Some simply want to try something new and see what happens.

People come to learn how to dance, but they weren’t expecting: a source of energy, enjoyment and emotional reset. A reason to make time for yourself during the week.
It becomes a way to switch off for some time, leave everyday worries behind and focus on the present moment.

Maybe that’s why these two questions often go together:
Why did you start?
What has changed since then?

Never danced before? Not a problem. It’s something that was true up until now.
Everyone who dances with us also started from scratch.

Some people arrived thinking they weren’t made for dancing.
Some came just to try. That was quite a while ago and they’re still here ⭐️

And summer actually makes starting easier. It’s a good time to start something because you want to, not because it’s a new year or a new Monday or part of some plan to be a better version of yourself.

Life moves differently too:
– more music
– longer evenings
– more spontaneous plans
– more energy outside the usual routine

So if you don’t have any experience, that’s the perfect time to begin from 🌱

We just launched a beginner’s course built exactly around that idea: you come as you are, we break down the fundamentals step by step, and we start dancing together

Starting something new is often harder than it seems. Especially when it comes to dancing.

It can feel like you’re supposed to be confident, coordinated or naturally good before you walk into a class. But being a beginner means you get to discover everything for the first time.

This June, we have a short beginner’s solo bachata course — a one-month run designed to help you step into something new ⭐️

This course is for people who:
– have been thinking about dancing for a long time
– want a little more movement, energy and emotions in everyday life
– feel tired of same routine and want summer to feel different

No partner or experience required.
You’re officially allowed to explore the movement, make mistakes, laugh, and slowly start feeling more comfortable in your own body.

Classes take place once a week on Monday 11:00–12:00 and Thursday 19:00–20:00 at Lootsi 8/1, Tallinn city centre.

If you’ve been thinking about it — this is a good time to go. Send us a message and we’ll sort out the details❤️
