Community

Community is an essential part of Dance Migration that brings a deep sense of belonging, and a feeling of being part of something greater than ourselves. It is through this union that we have the space to connect with others, reach our goals, and feel safe and secure. Brazilian dance and music was manifested within the community and we feel it is a vital part of Dance Migration that unites us all.

Spirit

Spirit is at the heart of all that we do here at Dance Migration. We believe dance brings great healing and Brazilian dance holds the sacred medicine to the soul. Inspiration is cultivated in our classes and our events to awaken us to new possibilities by allowing the space to transcend our ordinary experiences and limitations. It is in the spirit of these sacred dances where we discover our courage, dive into our power, and find our freedom. Through spirit we have the ability to transform the way we perceive our own capabilities.

EDUCATION

We believe education is a vital part of learning here at Dance Migration. As we share from Brazilian culture it is our responsibility to respect the roots of these dances and share the history of where they originate. Through education we grow within our dance but also in our awareness as human beings. The dance languages, which are derived from the African diaspora, teach us about life, our connection to nature and our inner vital force. At Dance Migration we encourage our students to study, ask questions, and to look beyond the dance steps or beautiful costumes that may sometimes distract from the depths of these dances. In turn we become more empowered and have a deeper understanding of the work we are doing.
