FREEDOM DANCE TECHNIQUE
Making Dance Accessible For Everyone To Find Their Joy And Freedom
Imagine a world where all people of any age can be fully self-expressed, unafraid to be who they are, and live in their truth. That's a world I aim to create in my dance classes. To dance is to be free. If we can tap into our joy, and the freedom to be who we are, I believe we can live a more harmonious life.
The Freedom Dance Technique was born out of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the midst of being forced to stay at home, I felt confined within these 4 walls and needed movement more than ever. With over 20 years of dance training, I've comprised modalities of meditation, dance therapy, and ecstatic dance to help people find freedom within their mind and body to release tension and bring joy to their life.
