Infusing the World with Positive Energy, Joy, and Inspiration

We live in a world of interconnectedness. That is what Dance for Connection and Octaband® are about. When we live by the understanding of this web of connections, we live healthier, happier lives. We strive for compassion to make the world better, not just for ourselves, but for one another. Not for some others, but all others. Because what affects one, affects us all.

Nature may not care one whit about what we believe, but it is affected by what we do. What the most powerful people in this current U.S. regime are doing is cruel, heartless, and entirely without conscience. What each of us does together can and must tip the scales of justice toward good.

So, while I protest, write postcards, contact legislators, donate toward just causes, and boycott corporations that support the regime, the most important thing I do is dance with people with dementia. Why? Because dancing with people with dementia keeps me humble, present, compassionate, and in love with life. It infuses my life and the world around me with positive energy, joy, and inspiration.

The trainings I lead are characterized by the extraordinary love and compassion of the trainees drawn to dance with people with dementia. Through experiential exercises, dance, discussion, and two groups dancing with people with dementia, we explore the facets of dance and dementia that make all of our worlds better. And in the process, we improve our brain and body health.

Don't wait. Register today to learn how to bring dance to people with dementia. The training is designed to meet participants where they are along the journey, whether entirely inexperienced but interested or with years of practice. Some trainees have taken the training multiple times because we learn through the lens of our embodied selves which are continually changing.

Together, we will infuse the world with positive energy, joy, and inspiration.
