Primal Dance Intensive
Summer Season Application
Welcome and thanks for your interest in the program!
I’ve always been a dancer at heart; some of my most formative life experiences happened while break dancing and house dancing in the mega clubs of the 1990s in NYC. (Back when everyone on the dance floor was bringing it like there life depended on it, before bottle service culture came along and ruined everything.)
I’ve spent the last 35 year studying martial arts and meditation, and 21 years coaching health, fitness, and movement. Though I started out as a simple personal trainer, my quest for discovering the universal principles of movement has lead me to study and integrate many different forms of practice, and challenged me to present my system in different ways, as a means of testing and perfecting it.
With dance being my original passion, plus the astounding discovery that holistic movement and wellness training is completely lacking at every level of dance culture, from small studios to professional companies, I began training more dancers in various settings, from teaching at the NYCDA Winter Dance Intensive at Juilliard to working directly with professional companies, like Ballet Jazz Montreal.
And what I’ve discovered is that a little bit of what I’ve learned on my movement journey can go a long way towards helping dancers relax, recover, and perform with the inner radiance required to stand out.
What We’re Looking For in Founding Students
This will be my first time presenting my life’s work in this format, and I most certainly don’t have everything figured out. We’re looking for a five founding students to help develop and test the principles and practices of the system, so that we may grow together and support each other. And so we’re also offering a huge one time discount of 60% off, and is being offered for $97.
Students that are a great fit for the program:
Professional or pre-professional level, based in NYC.
Strong desire to optimize their recovery, prevent injury, and increase energy levels naturally.
Interested in strength and conditioning through ground work and breath work.
Curious about energy medicine, qigong, and acupressure to heal and prevent injuries, joint pain, and hormonal imbalances.
Committed to mastering their body-mind-spirit and awakening their full human potential.
Personal vision includes serving as a leader and mentor for other dancers.
In return, you will get effective tools that, since they are by and large unknown in the dance world, will give you an unfair competitive advantage. When you show up with your full humanity and move with purpose and joy, the entire universe takes notice.
