"Thank
you again. I felt an incredible connection to and pleasure with being
in my body when I danced. I have little memory of feeling quite like
that in this lifetime. It is wonderful and deepens my desire to keep
that connection."

"Wow...thank you so much for a great two hours of music, movement, and
joy! It's such a treat for me to be able to just open up all the
channels and move to music; grateful. I haven't danced that
freely...possibly ever. Thank you for creating the space in order for
me to be able to release."
-Phoenix Ecstatic Dance Class, April, 2008
"Wanted to express my appreciation for your
wonderful gift of dance to me. The workshop took me deeper, and the
unconditional love from my peers will begin to allow the process of self
acceptance."

now, who cares!"
