Somatic practice is an umbrella term mounted by Thomas Hanna in 1975 referring to alternative western bodymind practices such as Alexander technique, Feldenkrais, Ideokinesis, BodyMind Centering, and more, which are all influenced by eastern practices such as Yoga, Qi Gong, Tai Ji Chuan, Zen Buddhism, Tantra, Vedanta, eastern medicine and philosophy, western indigenous practices, and western modern medicine, physical education and philosophy such as phenomenology, pragmatism, post-structuralism, post-modernism and western psychology.

During the 1960s until today dancers in a wide range of communities, but especially in the New York Downtown dance scene and in the UK, have integrated these practices into their dance training and practice into what can be called Somatic Dance Improvisation.

This integration and genre of practice is mainly what this plattform and organization is supporting and offering, with a desire to share it with a social political and decolonial awareness, as well as an interest in collective care as a socially transformational act.
