{{main|Gurdjieff movements}}
Movements, or sacred dances, constitute an integral part of the Gurdjieff work. Gurdjieff sometimes referred to himself as a "teacher of dancing" and gained initial public notice for his attempts to put on a ballet in Moscow called ''Struggle of the Magicians.''{{cn|date=March 2025}}

In ''Views from the Real World'' Gurdjieff wrote, "You ask about the aim of the movements. To each position of the body corresponds a certain inner state and, on the other hand, to each inner state corresponds a certain posture. A man, in his life, has a certain number of habitual postures and he passes from one to another without stopping at those between. Taking new, unaccustomed postures enables you to observe yourself inside differently from the way you usually do in ordinary conditions."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gurdjieff International Review |url=https://www.gurdjieff.org/ |access-date=2022-12-04 |website=www.gurdjieff.org}}</ref>

Films of movements demonstrations are occasionally shown for private viewing by the [[Gurdjieff Foundation]]s, and some examples are shown in a scene in the [[Peter Brook]] movie ''[[Meetings with Remarkable Men (film)|Meetings with Remarkable Men]]''.{{cn|date=March 2025}}
