moving the body
to move the mind
thoughtful, holistic,
performance training
The Mindful Academy of Dance offers a new kind of dance education — one that nurtures both the body and the mind. As a dance educator with a background in psychotherapy, our program is grounded in child development and mental health principles, while also delivering high-quality, developmentally sound technical training.
Our curriculum is designed to build strength, flexibility, and artistry — while also supporting emotional regulation, self-esteem, and body awareness.
At The Mindful Academy of Dance, we believe that dancers thrive when they feel safe, seen, and supported. We take the pressure, shame, and comparison out of dance training and replace it with curiosity, care, and excellence. Every dancer learns differently — and we celebrate that.
around here we believe...
-
Kindness comes first
-
All bodies are strong and beautiful
-
We are all equal
-
We can do hard things
-
Mistakes are our best teachers
-
Challenges help us grow
-
Each of us is unique and that’s a good thing!
-
There is always something to be grateful for
what people are saying
Michelle pushed me out of my comfort zone, and sparked a fire in me I didn’t knew I had. I was excited to try new things, and to work harder than ever before. She taught me to be confident, open-minded, and to stand out in the crowd; but most importantly to be ME. She helped me realize I had nothing to be afraid of, I just had to take that extra step. Everything I’ve learned over the years, now plays a role in all aspects of my life. Michelle encouraged me to take that leap, and I’m grateful I did.
