The key principles of Liberate Your Dance
I have been dancing for over half a lifetime now. Dance was the original way I understood to come into presence, to listen to a deeper story living inside and to express it.
Over years of dance practice, studying everything from modern dance, contact improvisation, bellydance, Italian folk dance and Romani dances, I have come to understanding of how dance lives in the body.
Here are the elements that are the core building blocks:
Storytelling. I love prompts and the ability to make meaning of life through the story the body tells. Having a container where someone holds the space for intuitive storytelling helps make my understanding of my current woes and desires so much richer.
Music. When I dance, I connect to the music and to the rhythm deeply. I find the groove and play in it. I dart between the lines. I accent and soften. The rhythm is an essential part of what guides me.
Body Vocabulary. The body is a living, breathing masterpiece filled with INFINITE possibilities of movement. To me, the colors of life are what make it worth living. So I try to dance in full color ~ to paint the sky with my movement.
Dance is a liberation and a celebration of life and spirit in trying times!

Words of Praise
"Natanya’s movement class has been rich in several ways.
She has created an encouraging and respectful space in which to experiment with movement; she uses her considerable knowledge of the body to gently educate and develop my awareness of muscles, joints, bones, posture; she weaves in her explorations of the history and culture of dance and instrumentation; and she is fun and funny, and a beautiful dancer herself! "
~ Catherine, activist and artist
“Fun class!
Through the six weeks of the class, I returned to a greater awareness of my body through dance. It helped me to develop my own movement practice, taking me out of the chaos of everyday and giving me a touchstone of connection to my inner self. Tapping into a sense of other cultures was also freeing, allowing a new and different sense of movement.
All was enlivening. The lessons were brought to a level that was just challenging enough and still fun.”
~ Carl Kielbock, Director of Manayunk-Roxborough Art Center
