As a Teaching Artist, I’ve been working with youth ages 5-25 for over a decade.  Bringing art, dancing, free form movement, and mindfulness meditation into schools, after school programs, summer camps, and conferences continues to be a great joy to me.

In 2008, I began Salsa for the Soul, a business I created to utilize the art of Latin partner dancing as a tool for healing in personal relationships: both within ourselves and in our relationships with others.

Based on the idea that “salsa is a metaphor for life,” I realized in my own personal growth and developmental journey how much I’d learned, healed, and transformed through the art and language of Latin partner dancing.

This is what I want to share with you through a Salsa for Life workshop.

Salsa for Life is designed to facilitate:

• Greater self-confidence, self-awareness, and self-esteem,
• Connection with self, life and others
• Deeper levels of trust in yourself and your abilities
• Confidence in relationships
• Comfort in and with the body
• Clarity in assuming and identifying responsibilities and roles in a relationship
• Encouraging a fun and healthy activity, while learning some thing new and challenging

Working with kids and adults in the art of Salsa partner dancing is a dream come true.

10 youth educators filled out surveys from a session in Salsa for Life, which I facilitated at the annual Young Audiences of W.N.Y. Patricia Cotsen Arts Abilities Conference in November of 2013.

Of those 10:

100% felt they acquired new and important information

100% felt it affirmed what they were already doing

90% felt they acquired new insights that will help them improve their practice

30% felt it supported common core

SOUND-BYTES:
