And Heal Through Dance

When the Body Speaks, the Spirit Moves

Dance creates transformation. Movement and emotion are directly related. Dance allows individuals to express, revitalize,and renew confidence in their bodies to address physical, emotional and spiritual challenges creating a healthy balance and sense of wholeness.


Movement Arts have been effective for children and adults by utilizing dance as a  vehicle for communication and expression. Movement takes us to a place where language cannot. Dance and Movement can progress the cognitive, emotional, physical and social integration of children and adults with special needs,depression, PTSD, trauma and seniors with Alzheimer's.
