Hello, I’m Anna
(she/her)
I mentor and guide. I facilitate bodymind movement exploration to help people connect with themselves. I believe that knowledge is power meant to be shared. The work that I do is based on my own practice Unstructured, a method that can be applied to any dance and movement modality. Nothing is more profound than witnessing people discover wisdom of their bodies through movement. I continue to be fascinated by the body and the narratives it hold. I welcome underrepresented bodies into this space because there isn’t enough spaces where we get to be beautiful and powerful just the way we are. I’ve been blessed to have worked with the things that I’m passionate about even when it seemed unconventional to the world, and for dance to always have had a role in my life.
I look forward to moving with you.
Open skies,
-anna
UPDATE 2025: I’m currently taking a break from providing services and programs due to the Fulbright Scholarship Research 2024-2025
My Approach
My approach is self-exploration using dance and movement—I call it the Unstructured method. The space I invite participants into is intended to be free of judgement, or at least we try. No one is immune to negative self-talk and the biases we all have. But the important part is recognizing them and working with what's present.
The Unstructured method helps us connect with our bodies in new ways. We learn to safely explore all the sensations, emotions, ideas, aesthetics, and expression that come up when we dance. This lets us both create and observe our own experiences—giving way for a dialogue with our body by listening.
In the Unstructured space, we all get to simply be and recognize ourselves as experts of our own bodies. This often sounds easier than it is. In a world that has us on the go constantly, dropping into our body's innate knowledge and language can feel unfamiliar even for the most seasoned dancer. But perfection isn't the goal—being fully who we are in the moment is. So, together we try. Some days will feel great, other days will be more of a struggle. Just like life.
