This dance ritual is open to all levels of movers and bodies. All are welcome here. SOL VIDA™️ centers Black, Brown and The Rainbow Spectrum of cultures, identities, generations and beings on this planet. Recommended for 18 and up, unless accompanied by an adult guide. No experience is necessary.
We are on a mission to help you achieve radical personal freedom in your mind, body and spirit utilizing principles from 5 Rhythms®, Body-Mind Centering®, SomaSource®, and SOL VIDA™️ movement methodologies to give you a space to express yourself authentically.
This is a safe, sacred and inclusive space for grounding and embodied release. Guaranteed to call you to life, help you enjoy your body, feel more control, and get free!
2-Hour Dance Ritual:
We will welcome the intention of new energy on a new moon, this Memorial Day ( a day of the dead), honing an opportunity to somatically process the last two years of wearing masks, socially distancing, and general strangeness of residual frequencies and the collective fear.
This will be a space to allow the release of grief, stress and anxiety--to dance freely in appreciation and exultation of your body. Trust that we can bear anything together, creating this temple and discovering self, communal love and liberation once again. We will weave movement, breath, and sound to welcome you back to your body and soul family, filling you up with light, love, fresh new inspirations and energy!

About Axé:
April Axé Charmaine (she l they) is a multi-disciplinary artist and global movement leader. Axé (ah-shay) identifies as a queer-afro-diasporic artivist carrying lineages from Ghanaian Dance, Symbology of The Orixas, SomaSourceⓇ, 5 Rhythms, Horton, Dunham, Limon, Laban, Ballet, Jazz, Musical Theatre, Spoken Word, Guerilla Theatre, and Performance Art. Axé is an award-winning entrepreneur, holistic dance and performing arts educator; director; choreographer; performance artist; creative writer; Unschooling mama; motivational speaker; and light empowerment guide. Thrilled to the moon to be co-creating with Jeanne!
“ Her ability to guide a group of women to get into their bodies and out of their heads is brilliant. She connects with such love and authenticity, and she creates a space where is it not only safe to explore movement, but it is natural and primal--she is able to somehow grasp the deep chords of femininity and sensuality and strike them beautifully, waking up something that has for so long, been lost in modern women. " - Women's Retreat Leader, Heidi Whitehead
About Jeanne:
Jeanne is a lifelong dancer, choreographer and certified movement therapy practitioner of Body-Mind Centering ®. After living and performing in NYC in the late 1980s, she began to create classes and workshops across the US and parts of Europe and Japan to access the capacities of movement in all of us yet unique to each of us as a personal healing art. She is particularly interested in supporting anyBODY to feel fabulous moving at any age and ability. Jeanne is thrilled to partner with Axé at this one of a kind and first of its kind Pop Up to generate real “take it all in and take it on home” magic.
