Presence in Practice

What Is Presence in PRactice?

This is a choreographed dance that is made on your body, for your personal journey towards deeper presence. We work together in the studio over a set period of time to create moves that celebrate your body and abilities.

Throughout the this journey you will find a newfound freedom in your beautiful body, gain physical strength and stamina, release mental conditioning that no longer serves you, and connect with your timeless, limitless spirit to help lighten your relationship to life itself! Best of all - the experience is fun! You’ll be dancing (even if you never could imagine calling yourself a dancer or even if you were one decades ago!).

BOOK A Call with me.

  • Discuss physical and mental challenges to your health and wellbeing (if any), and discuss goals or feelings you wish to experience.

  • Establish a personalized dance plan that supports your body and goals.

  • Pick a genre, artist, or song-choice that help incapsulate you and your situation best.

  • Is a private commission best for you? If so, we’ll discuss logistics for establishing a consistent practice together.

Send me an email with your contact information and I’ll reach out to shortly for our phone conversation.

  • Yes! This is suitable for any age and ability. Dances can be choreographed for moms with their babies in a carrier, toddlers, young children, teenagers, professional dance artists, adults, and seniors.

    This is also suitable, and possibly even more beneficial for those with physical limitations of any kind. Dances can be made for those with injuries, chronic or serious illness, or physical or mental sensitivities that need personal attention and care. Movements can be performed from a chair, or with any prop that can help facilitate movement, stability, and freedom for any individual. Dances have been created for those with MS, Parkinson’s, those recovering from a foot surgery, a 2 year old, a busy mom, and the like!

  • Yes! If you own a dance company or dance studio and want a piece created on your dancers, for their growth and journey towards a more present life and craft, this can absolutely be tailored to professional artists. Movement vocabulary can be advanced and intended to challenge the potential of the artists. All choreographed dances are focused on creating a more present life - for the artists themselves and the audiences who have the pleasure of watching.

  • Yes! Dance is an incredible bonding experience that brings forth communion and unity on a deep level. Movement is a way to heal wounds and discords, especially when conversations feel limited or at a stand-still. This experience can be tailored to two individuals or a small group. Ideally, all interested are present on the consultation call.
