Matt is a movement inspired therapist who teaches Slap Dance Sing – otherwise known as body music or body percussion. With a background in the arts, Matt is a musician and performer and loves encouraging everyone to use their bodies to their full potential. Matt says the expression of rhythm is deeply ingrained in our bodies and believes you don’t have to be musical to feel musical. In other words, if you can talk, you can sing and if you can walk, you can dance. His movement inspired therapy offers a rhythmic and creative way to bring about a sense of mindfulness to your physical being. In addition to the physical benefits, this form of movement helps to shift tension, feel grounded, bring awareness back into the body, create a sense of balance and regulate emotions. Matt sees it as a way of tuning your body and tapping into its natural rhythms. In the past, Matt presented body percussion shows at schools and festivals. Based in Mparntwe, Alice Springs, Matt can arrange a session online or at a location convenient to you. Read more

From here, it’s stepping and paying attention to feeling whether you’re off balance or holding tension, and using your breath to shake off this unbalance. The remainder of the session is introducing vocal phrases, harmonising with others and combining this with the rhythmic percussion. Using the body as a rhythm machine, the dance practice helps to bring awareness back into the body and creates a sense of balance. Location by arrangement in the area. Read more
