Testimonials

"Erin is fabulous - energetic, loving, caring...clear and timely and she has deeply embodied the routine."
~ Andrea

"At the end of class I felt like a soft blanket had been placed gently over me..."

"Nia has been life changing for me in such a short time. It's revolutionized the way I view 'health' and 'fit'. I think this is soley because the Joy of Movement is infused into every step. Celebrating life and accepting your body, your sensation, is something I'm thankful to learn as a young woman. Now it will carry over into every aspect of my world."
~Virginia, UNM Student, Spring 2010


Inspiration

"You have to love dancing to stick to it. It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive..." ~ Merce Cunningham
