Kristy Johnson: I dance because it sets me free… it connects me to my body, my heart and to the interconnected community that we are. The intentionality of the Soulpower movements, music, and incorporation of the feminine and masculine as well as all the elements- air, earth, metal, Fire and Water- brings me home over and over again. I can feel the surrender and my individual and the collective vibration rise up and up. It is for all these reasons that I became a certified Soulpower dance teacher and what I try to hold space for and co-create in this incredible, joyful, playful, heartful community. I dance to connect, to re-member, to feel, to play…. Come dance with me!
Kristy teaches Soulpower Dance and Sacred Dance in Waynesville, NC every other Tuesday and Thursday at Noon at the Healing Hive at Folkmoot USA.
