The Soulpower Dance Intensive and Level One* Instructor training has returned! Join me for a transformative, four day dive into your most authentic self through the creative art, healing and empowerment of expressive dance.

This training is for all those seeking:

  • a more intuitive and authentic connection to their dance

  • more confidence, creativity, self empowerment and voice in their dance expression

  • a deeper wisdom and knowledge of the healing power of movement/dance

  • personal and spiritual growth through the healing power of dance

  • to learn how to choreograph to music

  • to lead others in emotive dance and dance choreography

  • to become a trauma-informed dance fitness or Soulpower instructor

  • a firm foundation in the power of presence in holding safe and sacred containers

  • an intimate and deeply connective group experience with like-minded dancers

CURRICULUM:

Soulpower Dance is based on a foundation of 8 Core Principles. We will cover these 8 principles and more while honoring, holding and witnessing the personal and interpersonal growth aspects of body, mind, heart and spirit.

1) History, Her Story, Your Story

2) Dance as Medicine and Spiritual Consciousness

3) Archetypes & Elements as Energy

4) To Be Embodied: Physically, Spiritually, Emotionally & Mentally

5) Music as your Muse, Manifesting Passion

6) Foundations in Choreography

7) Building Community (Common-Unity)

8) Leading, Cueing and Instructing 101

Each participant will have the opportunity to choreograph a song (with support) by the end of the Intensive and teach the song in a finale group class on Sunday. This will be a free, one hour class format to the public. Family and friends are enthusiastically invited. This is called the: Soulpower Intensive Dance Showcase.

Upon completion of the 4 days, each participant will receive a Certificate of Completion for 26 hours of Intensive and Training as a Level One Certified Instructor.

Please note: Participating in this intensive does not require you to become an instructor. The experience alone offers the benefits stated above. However, this certification is good for two years if you decide to continue on the path to becoming a Soulpower instructor.

*A Level One certification offers the basic foundational skills needed to create and hold your own dance fitness class. To become a Soulpower Dance Instructor, Level Two certification and training will be required and those details will be shared in the Level One training.

PREVIOUS ATTENDEES: You are invited and encouraged to return and repeat this training as a refresher at a discounted rate of 1/2 the cost. Please email me for details!

“My experience in Misa’s Soulpower dance Intensive was beyond anything I could have begun to imagine! I decided to take it to understand the foundation and depth behind the dance that had come to mean so much to me. Little did I know at the time that it would open portals to personal transformation that are still, five years later, deepening and simmering. This opportunity - if you have even a small glimmer of interest- is one to dive towards… it will shift your dance perhaps… but even more, it will open your soul to magical possibilities!! “
