      For the curious>>> A recent testimonial ...
"Stephanie helps me understand body-mechanics as relational. In her class, I start to move and think as a fully functioning person, rather than as an assembly of clutched parts and disembodied levers.  
She is equally attuned to the mental and physical artistry of dance, and deliberately creates a potent exploratory teaching space, open to every person's introspective disclosures.  I not only feel permitted to act from my inner motivations in her class, but more importantly, I feel safe to attend to the questions and curiosities that come up for me." 

three wonderful quotes to share  

From Rumi:

"The body is a device to calculate

the astronomy of the spirit.

Look throught that astrolabe

and become oceanic."

Lawrence LeShan in The Seeker's Guide by Elizabeth Lesser

" Don't worry about what the world wants from you, worry about what makes you come more alive. Because what the world really needs are people who are more alive. Your real job is to increase the color and zest of your life."
 

Willem de Kooning

 "I'm in my element when I am a little bit out of this world: then I'm in the real world — I'm on the beam. Because when I'm falling, I'm doing alright; when I'm slipping, I say, "Hey, this is interesting!" It's when I'm standing upright that bothers me: I'm not doing so good; I'm stiff.

As a matter of fact, I'm really slipping most of the time, into that glimpse. I'm like a slipping glimpser."
