In the World

Besides daily dancing, each day has short check-in moments to do throughout the course of your day. They invite more awareness of your life as it unfolds.

5 Elemental Awareness Dances (15 min)

The natural world lives inside us. In these sessions, we use different musical tones and movement textures to embody the five elements.

5 Body Awareness Dances (15 min)

A series of shorter, focused explorations where we map the five distinct dimensions of human awareness.

6 Living Room Dances (45 Minutes)
