What People Say
“Mimi is an incredible dancer and educator. Her ability to connect with students of all ages, abilities, movers and non-movers alike is seamless, joyful, and energetic. She meets students where they’re at but manages to simultaneously gently push them outside of their comfort zones through self-expression and discovery. Mimi is the rare kind of teaching artist who can make dance accessible to all, through helping students understand how their bodies move and why movement is essential for their mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.”
– Kristel Jelinek Brown, Teaching Artist &
Theatre Maker

Children’s Creative Movement
Our children’s programs celebrate the way children experience the world; through curiosity, exploration, and play. We use dance, movement, games and props to explore themes inspired by nature, art, and adventure. Our classes are student-centered, engaging, interactive, adaptive, and access multiple intelligences and modalities.
Families Moving Together
With our facilitators guiding experimentation and self-expression through movement, families’ bodies, minds, and spirits move together for learning, healing, and transformation. Our family classes help us experience our children and parenting in new ways and grow our relationships and connections.
Community Events
Our Nourish Community Events bring families together in movement, art, networking and community building with a shared goal of supporting children’s well-being. Partners specializing in child and family supports offer knowledge, resources and conversation. In addition, we offer workshops & exchanges specific to educators & caregivers seeking to meaningfully engage with children through art and movement.
