Dance as an Ecsatic & Healing Art Form
private dance classes & workshops in Mill Valley, CA with Lisa Alpine
Dance is an ecstatic healing art form for a multitude of reasons. Through dance you develop the ability to unlock energy pathways and direct vitality to where your body needs attention. Dance is also an expressive art form you create from your core. Use your body to paint feelings, your muscles to sculpt movement, and your senses to translate music. Each class & workshop with Lisa incorporates a special theme and is formatted to include a guided deep stretch followed by plenty of free-form and guided dance time to a wide variety of music. The dancers end with a restful meditation.
Lisa Alpine has been teaching dance as a healing art form for over 16 years at retreat centers around the world. She has worked with thousands of students in group and private workshop settings and is known for her intuitive ability in assisting people in opening up their bodies in order to free their expressive nature.

UPCOMING WEEKEND WORKSHOP:
Take a leap into a new, stimulating and healthy way to explore your poetic flow. Add dance to your writerly repertoire, and find a new way to tap into the poetry that dances within you. We'll flex not only our movement muscles, but our ability to pull descriptive words from our subconscious and string them into dance-inspired poetry. A movement warm-up to a wide range of music leads into the interplay between dancing and writing in organic and structured ways. Stimulating solo and group poetry exercises will include dialogue duets, condensing free-write "hot spots", and Poetic Synergetics. |
