WHOLENESS

Local Teachers

“Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather to all who can read it.- Martha Graham ”

“I dance to rediscover, remember, recreate, and to return to love. It takes courage to live one's truth. Your courage breeds courage in me. Will you join me and dance our truth?”

“My job is to hold a sacred space where people can see what is already there.”

“Keep dancing with that spark of truth that resides in all of us. Allow it to lead. Have the courage to leap, even when it is scary...”

“”

“" Your Body is the harp of your soul and it is yours to bring forth sweet music from it or confused sounds" Khalil Gibran ”

“This is the truly creative dancer, natural but not imitative, speaking in movement out of (themselves) and out of something greater than all selves. ~Joseph Campbell”

“Dance the World into being”

“"The most precious jewels may never see the light”

“In movements, everything is possible. ”

“Dance when your broken open. Dance when you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free. Rumi”

“If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough”

“Rain, oceans are my Flowing. Street traffic, crowds chatting are my Staccato. Waterfalls, pounding jack hammers are my Chaos. Winds, hummingbirds are my Lyrical. Echoes of drops in a cave, my breaths are my Stillness.”

“this dance is my practice; my presence, playfulness and passion meet and the truest sense of my self emerges here i connect to source & know my depth ”

“Discover your ground, define your passion and voice, dissolve what holds you back, delight in your originality, dance with whatever is in the moment.”

“We reside in our body to express the unique and amazing being living inside. Telling the truth through the body liberates us from the confines of social structure and hardened beliefs of self. In other words, dancing ROCKS!”

“After all this time I have no doubt: embodied physical practice in the context of a shamanic 5Rhythms wave delivers. Must be present to win. ”

“We are Gods and Goddesses with a global case of human amnesia. We dance to remember, we dance to forget, we dance to let go, to heal the cells of our body-mind and reignite the crystal imprints of our souls.”

“What a surprise it was to find all the answers in the body, not the mind.”

“We dance to fall in love with the spirit in all things. by Gabrielle Roth ”
