My dream. To have a space that is safe, open and inviting. To allow those to come to the space as they are. To be themselves. To be authentic and genuine.

I have been thinking a lot about being able to show up in the world as yourself without a mask or pretending you are something your not. My studio Hip Love Studio a dream coming true. Last night, before class a student arrived and excitedly says “I am in my pajamas tonight”

I just loved this that first she was super comfortable enough to come as she was! I want you to be yourself, to shine your light, to show up in the most genuine way. Dance and movement does teach you this. It also teaches us to be confident in ourselves, in our own bodies and skin.

My question I asked my students: besides the studio is there anywhere else you can go that you feel comfortable enough to be YOU? Everyone had to think long and hard and the only comment was Walmart. We should be able to go anywhere and to be ourselves to feel safe, supported, welcomed. These are all basic human needs and when we do not feel safe or supported it can cause a ton of stress and who needs more of that?

Last night at the studio we had 2 full amazing classes of amazing women. I am in awe of these women incidentally all ages from 10 on up! They showed up as themselves and for themselves! That is such an amazing gift we can actually give ourselves and others! They are learning more about who they are and connecting within their own bodies because that is where it starts. Are you ready to join us? We would love it!
