Shake Your Soul always makes me feel good, happy, free and ready for the weekend! Dancing with just enough guidance and freedom, and Emily has a great way about her as a teacher.                              Risa

Emily creates a safe space in which you can dance as she suggests or dance in your own style.  I have fun in each class because she creates new ways to teach a dance and it is always a great adventure.           Carrie

Arriving at Shake Your Soul class with Emily you are welcomed  into a supportive home of dance; a place where you can  play, connect with other dancers and retreat into your own dance reverie. ​I always leave  feeling happy and looking forward to the next time.                                                                                    Marion

At my first Shake Your Soul class with Emily I was fascinated by the rhythms and movements.  Now I feel more rhythmic myself, and not as shy about trying the movements.  I love everything about it, from the gentle warm-up through the energetic, invigorating dancing.                                                                                Beth

​Shake Your Soul is a fun, welcoming way to get moving.  Emily deftly conveys calm reassurance and inspires a sense of joy that makes class comfortable no matter what  your level of familiarity with the class or limberness of muscles.  Tying it all together is the great range of music that accompanies each class.      Becca

What happens in a Shake Your Soul® Class?

We warm up by connecting to our breath, our bodies, gravity, and space. Next, we embark on a series of guided and free activities set to an ever changing array of world music. From the slow, meditative patterns of Tai Chi to the energetic movements of African Dance, we bring vibrancy and ease to body, mind, and spirit. Within a familiar structure, no two classes are exactly alike.
