This dance/movement practice blends somatic exploration with guided and collective choreography, drawn from a wide range of classic, contemporary and contemplative modalities.

Glimmer gatherings invite us to explore possibilities and potential of living in our bodies, guided by curiosity, awareness and personal expression. Movement inquiry offers both freedom and container. An eclectic mix of music genres engage the senses, emotions and imagination. Sensory-based prompts invite us to tune into our bodies to access the creative intelligence that flows within us; collective choreography emerges from impulse and improvisation.

We build each dance in a creative process together, by listening to the music, listening to our bodies, moving in community and following the glimmers!

What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?

Glimmer is Nia-inspired but delivered differently. Whereas a Nia class draws from a variety of structured dance/movement modalities including jazz, modern and Duncan dance, martial arts and yoga — Glimmer also draws from modalities of the expanding field of conscious and somatic dance/movement, such as Gaga, Authentic Movement, and 5 Rhythms.

What background, training, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?

Finish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…

Having a physical practice that brings me back to my senses, fuels my curiosity and makes room for everything I feel, while engaging with community connects me to self and community, and feels life affirming!
