Improved Mental Health for your
Student Body

Stress and anxiety are more prevalent in today's society than ever before and students have the additional stressor of Academic Stress. Our experiences are filled with techniques that although are incorporated into a fun dance journey have the power to help students regulate their nervous system and come back to a more calm and present state. Some of these techniques include mindfulness, focusing on the breath, shaking, dancing, and expressing with sound. 

Authenticity and Belonging: This experience is designed to help students understand that their unique expression is enough. College students are at a unique age where they are on a path of self-discovery and there can sometimes be many pressures to  "fit in" and forgo authenticity. This experience celebrates and invites that authenticity back. Belonging is such a deeply engrained human need and this experience helps students to understand that their authentic expression is a gift.

"True Belonging doesn't require that we change who we are; it requires that we be who we are." Brenee Brown

Mirroring builds empathy: Have you ever found yourself yawning at the same time as someone else, or cringing when someone else hurt themselves as if you experienced the pain yourself? This is due to a complex system of neurons called mirror neurons. Dance has been used to promote social bonding and group cohesiveness across many cultures around the world.  Through mirroring the dance and movement of another, it forces the person mirroring to embody the observed person’s experience building empathy. Empathy is essential when it comes to interacting with others, and building a culture of safety and healthy communication in a workplace.
