I have always been a movement teacher.
💃🏻From choreographing my sibling and their friends’ Back Street Boys dance for the talent show on our living room’s hearth.
💃🏻To my garage with my friend Nelya White co-creating dances to Madonna's The Immaculate Collection Album.
💃🏻 To assisting tiny tot dance classes at age 13 at New England Dance Quarters with Debbie Shumway.
💃🏻 To teaching my own dance classes in high school.
💃🏻 To finding Nia Technique as an adult and teaching 2-3 times a week for 4 years until the shut down.
There are phases in my life where I forget. Forget that the movement is at the core of everything that makes sense.
The core of the way my system processes/integrates and moves energy and emotion.
With movement you don’t need to know. You don’t need to know what’s wrong, what feels out of sorts. What it all means.
You don’t have to know what emotion you are experiencing or why, or what you think about something.
You get to just let your body do what it wants to do. Move in the ways that it is called, that feel good or needed and allow for the energy to unfurl.
Without explanation.
This opens up and creates more space in the body/energy/emotions/mind/spirit to invite in sensations and intentions that feel more aligned and alive than stuckness, stress, density, etc
Having space to move and integrate creates more capacity for us to hold all the things physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. All the emotions, pieces, layers, experiences, challenges, pains, expansions.
I am SO excited to step back into holding space for in-person movement opportunities.
