Dance Alive® Private Life Coaching Sessions are designed to give you the individual attention you need to apply
the Dance Alive® training in your life.

Private Coaching assist you in applying the Dance Alive® training to build all three areas of your life: Self (Energy, Health & Vitality) Relationships (Home, Family & Community) Work (Work, Career & Wealth)

You are being trained in Foundational Life Skills, acquired through the embodiment and practice of the
Dance Alive® System (The Movement Forms, Values, and Tools).
The Dance Alive® Movement Forms give you the ability and agility to reach your intention & goals.
The Dance Alive® Values are the roots of the system that create a foundation of integrity to move from.
The Dance Alive® Tools assist you in moving sustainably and with VITALITY!

Your Dance Alive® Coach (see coaches at bottom of page) will train you in how to embody and integrate this system so you can apply it to specific situations that are occurring in your life. As a result of training in the ENTIRE Dance Alive® system, you can reach your goals and intentions with greater ease and confidence, face challenges as you build your strength, relax under stress, and teamplay effectively with others.

In Private Coaching Sessions you will be guided in using the Dance Alive® 
Movement Forms, Values, and Tools to:

1. Embody Your Direction
   Being clear on your INTENTIONS (The overall direction you are moving in).
   Being clear on your GOALS (Specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely).
2. Reach Your Intentions & Goals Using Your WHOLE System Intelligence
   Most intention and goal setting systems are based in a linear model.
   Dance Alive works with your whole system, utilizing the whole body, mind, emotions and spirit to reach your goals. We use the combination of the right and left hemispheres of the brain working together, along with shifting your brainwave frequency to a state that is most optimal for problem solving and movement.
3. Balance Your Whole Life
   Most people tend to focus primarily on one area of their life (work, relationship, or self), and therefore can move further faster in that one area.
   Dance Alive trains students in having a balanced life across board. This is an endurance training as it calls for deep, incremental movement and stamina that is needed to go the long haul in each area of your life. This leads to the greatest long term fulfillment. You build deep appreciation for all aspects of your life and are able to shift and prioritize in the moment as needed.
4. Manage Your Thoughts and Emotions
   Most people struggle with their thoughts and emotions when moving towards their intentions & goals. Learning to manage your mind and use it to direct and encourage yourself is essential to manifesting your intentions and goals. Learning to manage your emotions, to be open to all your feelings (without suppressing or venting) and use them as essential information, is one of the keys to maintaining steady, solid energy while moving towards your goals. This way you spend your time in responsive action, as opposed to reactive emotion.
5. Register Your Success Each Step Along the Way.  
   Being able to experience what you have accomplished gives you the strength and confidence to take the next step. Most people (caught in the rat race) skip over this step which creates an overdrive/collapse pattern that leads to “burn out” or “give up” on your way to your goals. You will learn how to achieve success by moving incrementally, which ultimately leads to being solid and fluid as you move towards your goals.

”Dance Alive has changed my life. It has taught me what natural movement is. Natural movement is like a child’s movement: fluid, balanced, and strong where it needs to be. As a yoga teacher, I understood how postures directly affect both the physical and mental health. But Dance Alive deepened and expanded my yoga practice. In practicing Dance Alive, I tapped into the natural, already healed and whole wisdom of my everyday movement. Each movement is either habitual and not aligned or is a step toward alignment. Dance Alive teaches me how to choose alignment and ease in each step. ”
