Be the dancer you dream of being...

Would you like to be the dancer you dream of being, or wait for the next life? Lisa Alpine of Dance Weaver encourages you to dance NOW, even if it is a faint calling within and you have never set foot publicly on the stage or dance floor. People of different ages and various backgrounds in dance from zero experience to having studied it extensively take classes and workshops with her. Use her as your dance guide if you would like inspiration, motivation, and support exploring your own dance.

Unlock energy pathways... Dance is a healing art form for a multitude of reasons. Through dance you develop the ability to unlock energy pathways and direct vitality to where your body needs attention. Lisa guides the dancer into those stuck places by consciously coaxing movement there. This is a safe and self-affirming way to move into the uninhabited, inhibited, shamed, or pained areas of our bodies.

Enliven the body... Lisa's work focuses on enlivening the body from the ground up. She uses many exercises to free the feet from their prison of limited movement. By awakening the pelvis through dance, men and women can direct their sexual and fertile energy, giving birth to new forms of creativity. She works with integrating the left and right sides of the body (and brain) in movement which increases balance and acceptance of who we are.

Wake up to dance... Lisa celebrates you waking up to dance, not only for exercise and social interaction, but as a way to delve into the unspoken creative caves of yourself where dwells a richly expressive soul housed in a beautiful body. Add dance to your repertoire and give form to the mystery of life that dances within you. She provides a safe, aesthetic studio space in Marin County, California with a large wood floor and fine sound system. Music ranges from techno to trance, blues to Celtic, Reggae to African, to the fullness of our own silence.

"I have been teaching dance as a healing art form for ten years, though I have been dancing since I was born. I never took dance classes as a child because I was shy AND dyslexic but I sure shimmied at home! This led to an exploration of my own movement as an adult. I studied with Gabrielle Roth, David Jones, and a plethora of African dance teachers. I rented studios with other dancers where we would play and experiment with our dance. This opened up into teaching as I wanted to share with others the delight, high level joy and recognition that we are all dancers in our core -- in motion till we die. I now teach at my studio in Marin County, California, in France at Global Live Art and at other locales in the States.

Dancing art ... I tell my students, "Dancing is an expressive art form you create from your core. Use your body to paint feelings, your muscles to sculpt movement, and your senses to translate music." I help them discover the trust that their dance is perfect and the feelings they have spinning through their blood and bones is the inspirational fuel for their creativity."
