Moving with Dance at Lyngblomsten


"Using traditional Eastern European dance and creative movement, I express the beauty of the natural world and artfully engage others to discover their own vital connection to each other, the natural world and their creativity. My dancing changed in 2006 when, tethered to an IV pole, I had to find a way to move. My health then in crisis, I realized that the Armenian cherry blossom dance I was practicing didn’t just represent spring but was in fact a direct link to renewing life energy. I was a budding cherry tree!

"I create dance opportunities that support physical, social, environmental, occupational, emotional and spiritual wellness. Two areas of particular interest are creative dance for lifelong health and traditional dance for healing people, communities, and the natural world."
