Ride the Wave - Dynamic Movement

COME ALIVE THROUGH YOUR ENTIRE BODY! 

Awaken the life force that is within you and let your energy flow through you!  
Ride the wave of motion that brings you into your heart, your wisdom and your vitality!

Say, "Yes" to Moving, "Yes" to Feeling, "Yes" to Breathing, "Yes" to Life!" 

Through BREATH you listen to your own timing and generate energy...
Through FOCUS you expand your awareness...
Through FEELING you open to your senses and intuition...
Through MOVING you activate your commitment and confidence...
and through RELATING you build healthy, dynamic relationships.  
                                                                
Ride the Wave is a dynamic, engaging, and playful experience that brings joy, aliveness and vitality 
into your whole body and your whole life! 

 Generate energy through your entire body, build your confidence,
and trust your body's innate intelligence.  

You are led deeply inside so you are able to cultivate a relationship with your body that goes beyond
any formal or traditional training to the essence of your unique design.
You learn how to navigate your own system and how to move from stillness to activity while
staying connected to yourself. You are encouraged to move beyond any known structures
that you are currently operating in, and  to initiate movement beyond your current capacity.  
Your body is constantly being asked to adapt at a rate that grows your creative possibilities
and builds your life force. 
Your body is a brilliant, resilient, learning organism that is constantly regenerating itself by
responding to its inner and outer environment. and by taking the directions you develop new
neural pathways and access greater intelligence within you.
You are literally getting smarter as a result of this movement practice.

Once this creative process of discovery and new entrainment has begun, you are guided to interact with others in a way that is sensitive, creative and challenges the way you think, feel and operate. It is through this interactive process that your whole identity is expanded, your ability to relate goes beyond what you currently can do, and your capacity to enjoy and engage with others expands tremendously.  

This is the basis for a healthy, alive and dynamic relating, through movement and throughout life.

"Dance Alive has been and continues to be a profoundly amazing, radical and cutting edge education that has helped me transform my life by transforming myself from the inside out. One precious and priceless gift is that I've learned is how to open to the sheer joy and pleasure of being in my body and the absolute fun of moving and dancing. And that gift has also translated into learning how to meet life in all her totality and enjoy being alive through even the most challenging moments."
~ Lee M.

“Dance Alive is waking up my body’s own magic. In Dance Alive classes, I practice accepting, being with and moving parts of myself I’ve never moved before in an easy way with great music and Mariane’s incredible knowledge and spirit. Her example and teaching make it easy to acknowledge myself and begin to learn the deep physical, mental and emotional expression and expansion that is useful to my well being on every level…and fun! ”
