A Movement Meditation Series

The Dance Collective is excited to offer this 3 part Movement Meditation series for those with a passion to move and a desire for a deeper connection between mind and body. This pilot series is open to individuals with various movement abilities to ignite an appreciation of their body and its unique mobility. The classes will be built upon a holistic foundation of mindful and active listening to the body as it moves. Using gentle verbal cues, colorful imagery, and various levels of effort, movers in this class will have the chance to get better acquainted with their bodies, reclaim their movement, and become empowered.

Our facilitator, Amy Motson, has over 20 years of dance training in a variety of dance forms such as classical ballet, Graham and Limon techniques, improvisation, and Gaga. She has spent time as a freelance dancer, dance teacher, and 2 years working with the acclaimed Dance for PD program at the Mark Morris Dance Group, which offers dance classes for people in the Parkinsons community.

Amy is inspired by the transformative power of dance and movement, and she is now working towards her Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a Specialization in Dance/ Movement Therapy from Lesley University as a low-residency student. She has been developing the concept of a Movement Meditation class for quite sometime and is happy to be able to join with the Dance Collective to bring mindful movement to the Hartford Community.
