Always Be Dancing Mindful Movement

Introduction: I offer flamenco and yoga/mindfulness programs to all ages & abilities. I create site specific work for schools to create accessible yoga and mindfulness programs in PE, general classrooms and professional development days. I have created and perform an educational flamenco program that includes history of the art, presentation of various flamenco dance styles and also an interactive portion where the audience learns how to dance flamenco. The show also stresses the importance of a multicultural existence and the importance of being unique and accepting one another. I bring this show as a solo work or with a live guitarist to schools, senior living facilities and other community settings. My favorite part about teaching is sharing my love of movement and making both the arts of flamenco and yoga accessible, adaptable and inclusive. Yoga is not one tangible thing. It is not movement; it is not breath; it is not meditation. What it is, is all of these things. Each of these elements leaves an energetic imprint, a vibrational frequency on the person, and that is the yoga. I love both yoga and flamenco in my life and I live to share them. With each personal exploration of my own energy's movement, I teach. Yoga and flamenco are deeply connected to my soul, and I am constantly evolving. I choreograph the dance between effort and surrender. I find such joy in these sensations. All I want to do is to share them with my students.
