Read about Lisa's teaching in the Marin Independant Journal feature, Dancer, Heal Thyself.
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.

Without music, life would be a mistake.... I would only believe in a God who knew how to dance.
