“Dancing with Michael at Flow Studios has been really transformative for us as individuals as well as a couple the last year and a half. I used to be terrified and dancing…Now it’s one of the things we look forward to on a weekly basis.
The ability to get out of our heads and get into our body and allow ourselves to really connect with ourselves as individuals and as a couple. To connect to the music and really relax and decompress for the day.
It’s great to have an outlet for creative expression. You’re learning how to express who you are individually and as a couple…through our bodies to whatever music we hear at any place and any time. It’s been so vulnerable but also so liberating to have guidance through this”
—Connor and Hannah
DANCE TREE
All variables for creation stem from the roots of dance. They are Self, Earth, Music, Environment, and Partnership, each having a significant influence on dance. The stronger we grow our roots, the healthier and more robust our dancing becomes.
As our roots develop, we build grounds for our tree to emerge. Our dance tree grows using Flow Fluently training, making it possible for new branches to sprout and flourish. The stronger our tree trunk, the more variety of branches we can support. Each branch represents a style of music, form of movement, type of partner, or unique environment.
As our dancing develops, our authentic experiences and self-expression start bearing delicious fruit, and as we ripen, we experience our state of flow. The fruits dropping from the tree are the euphoric “flow” feelings we experience when dancing fluently.
Cultivating our gorgeous dance tree into a flow state empowers us to be precisely “us” and to thrive in every moment.
