Dance: a Path of Joy, Freedom and Cultural Education

All of the dance forms and movement practices I have studied—or been deeply immersed in—have been my medicine, my refuge, my prayer, and my joy. They have carried me through life's greatest challenges, expanded my understanding of myself and the world, and continually brought me back to what is most alive within me.

It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to share the freedom, healing, vitality, cultural richness, and sense of connection that were first so generously given to me by extraordinary teachers from around the world. Through nearly forty seven years of studying, practicing, creating, and performing, and almost twenty five years of teaching, I have had the privilege of passing these gifts on to others, with deep gratitude for the lineages and communities that have shaped my path.

Whether you're interested in learning the fundamentals of Cuban casino dance, exploring contemporary and modern dance, developing greater freedom through improvisation, deepening your understanding of body isolations, or cultivating a more intimate relationship with music and rhythm, I would be honored to support you on your dance journey—wherever you find yourself along the way.

These sessions may be especially supportive, if you are:

• Feeling that you want to connect with more joy in your life

• Wanting to strengthen your body-mind connection through practicing dance movements, remembering choreography and connecting those movements with music

• Looking to expand your exposure and understanding of different cultural dance expressions

• Wanting to improve your sense of rhythm and connection to music

• Ready to explore the freedom and choice-making of improvised movement

• Looking to strengthen, lengthen, and open up your ability to express yourself

No dance experience is required.

Only a willingness to begin.
