Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, our mission is to deepen the awareness
and connections within communities by offering creative movement as a meaningful life tool for health, growth and happiness.
Using dance and yoga, we provide holistic learning experiences that integrate physical, intellectual, and social expression
while restoring balance to the school or work day.
Co-founders Michael Richter and Michele Bickley have over 20 years experience
as arts educators and performers. They were most recently dance specialists with LAUSD’s Arts Prototype Program, teaching
and mentoring in elementary schools throughout the district. Both have received numerous awards and grants for their work
in the field of dance, including the CA Arts Council, CA Council for the Humanities, and a Jacob’s Pillow Teaching Fellowship.
