Awake Human Being & Dance Awake
Frequently asked questions
About Awake Human Being & Practices
What is Awake Human Being?
Awake Human Being is an online school that guides the human being’s awakening through a structured, embodied dance pathway. We support you from personal practice, to deeper embodiment, and ultimately toward certified dance facilitation.
What is the difference between Awake Human Being and Dance Awake?
Awake Human Being is our school and membership academy, where you train through a clear, progressive path. Dance Awake is part of the dance-based practice stream within that broader journey.
What is conscious dance, and do I need to be a "good dancer" to join?
Conscious dance is movement practice where you bring awareness to breath, sensation, and choice while you move. You do not need to be a “good dancer” to join. You only need a body, a willingness to listen, and a steady practice.
I have no experience with meditation or somatic movement. Where should I start?
Start with the foundational dance practice path, and focus on consistency rather than intensity. Choose short sessions, repeat them, and let video completion guide your pace. As you build stability, you can move into broader embodied practices like yoga and meditation.
Who is teaching the courses?
Our programs are taught by instructors within our school, with teaching held in a sacred, embodied, and grounded tone. As you progress, learning moves step by step, including completion requirements and prerequisites that keep the training sequential.
Pricing, Pathways & Enrollment
What is the difference between a "Pathway" and a "Standalone Course"?
A Pathway is a guided progression that bundles multiple trainings into a clear sequence, plus ongoing community and live support where included. A Standalone Course is a single training you purchase a la carte, without committing to a longer track. If you want structure and continuity, a Pathway is usually the better fit. If you want one specific topic, a Standalone Course can be the simplest choice.
Which Pathway is right for me?
Choose the foundational Pathway if you are building a steady personal movement practice and want clear weekly structure. Choose the embodied practice Pathway if you want to widen your tools with supportive practices like yoga and meditation alongside the dance. Choose the facilitator Pathway only when you feel ready to guide others and want teaching practice, feedback, and a certification track. If you are unsure, start with the earliest Pathway and move forward when your practice feels stable.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we offer payment plan options on select enrollments when available. Payment plans spread the cost over time, and access begins once your first payment is completed. If you do not see a plan at checkout, that option is not currently available for that item.
What is your refund policy?
If you request a refund within 14 days of purchase, we will refund you as long as you have not completed a substantial portion of the material. After 14 days, refunds are not offered for digital content already delivered. If a payment plan is used, any completed payments are non-refundable after the refund window, and future payments will be canceled if a refund is approved.
How long do I have access to the materials? (Explain Annual vs. Lifetime access)
Annual access means you can use the course library and included resources for 12 months from your purchase or renewal date. Lifetime access means you can return to the purchased course materials for as long as we host them. Community and live calls, when included, follow the access terms of your current membership or Pathway enrollment. If you are not sure which access type applies, check the checkout details for that specific Pathway or course.
Clarify the 3 Pathways
We teach in three clear Pathways that build in order:
Tier 1: Foundational dance practice, consistency, and core skills
Tier 2: Broader embodied practice, including yoga and meditation to support your dance
Tier 3: Facilitator certification for aspiring guides, with teaching practicum and manual review
The Scholarship Program
Do you offer financial assistance or scholarships?
Yes. We offer partial scholarships at 25%, 50%, and 75%, and full scholarships at 100%. Scholarships are available to reduce financial barriers across our paid offerings.
Which courses or pathways are eligible for a scholarship?
Scholarships apply to all paid plans. This includes any paid courses, pathways, and membership options we offer. If you are unsure which plan fits your situation, you can still apply and we will review it within the same process.
How do I apply, and how are decisions made?
You can apply for a scholarship at any time, and applications are reviewed monthly. We look at your application details to determine whether a partial (25%, 50%, 75%) or full (100%) scholarship is the best fit. You will be notified after the monthly review cycle once a decision is made.
Certification & Becoming a Facilitator
How do I become a certified Dance Awake Facilitator?
Start by enrolling in the Dance Awake Facilitator Training (DAFT) and move through the modules in order with all completion requirements met. You will complete supervised practice and keep practicum logs, which are required to graduate. After review and approval, you receive certification and permanent licensing to teach within the Dance Awake lineage.
Can I jump straight into the Awake Human Being Master Training (AHBT)?
No. AHBT requires DAFT as a strict prerequisite, and we keep this requirement firm to protect the integrity of the lineage. Both trainings include practicum requirements, and practicum logs are required to graduate. If you are unsure where to begin, we recommend starting with DAFT and building steady teaching reps first.
Are these certifications recognized globally?
Your certification is recognized within the Dance Awake lineage, with permanent licensing to teach Dance Awake practices wherever you live. Both DAFT and AHBT require documented practicum logs to graduate, and AHBT requires DAFT as a strict prerequisite. If you need recognition from an external body in your country, you can still use your practicum records and completion documentation as support, but external licensing varies by region.
