At the Dance Your Ability Therapeutic Movement Foundation, we are choosing an embodied, human-to-human presence.

Algorithms can't feel.

They can't offer that safe, trauma-informed space to move your body in a way that's right for you.

They can't share in the magic of a moment, the alchemy of a human connection.

That's where Dance Your Ability Therapeutic Movement Foundation facilitators make the biggest difference- through a depth of human intelligence and emotion we bring to every session.

The new Dance Your Ability training program offers a comprehensive, holistic approach to designing accessible and inclusive movement experiences.

With our 2-step pathway (foundations + facilitation), you'll learn how to create opportunities for individuals and communities to connect through movement and music in a way that's welcoming and powerful - not just for their bodies, but for their very souls.

If you're a carer, parent, therapist, educator, movement facilitator, or community connector looking to deepen your impact in the world, this is your invitation to bring back authentic human connection.

Our two-step approach offers flexibility and support, because we know that your journey toward becoming an amazing movement facilitator is deeply personal:

Step 1: Foundations - Learn the theory and therapeutic rationale behind the DYA method at your own pace

Step 2: Facilitation - Join our small-group practice labs (online or in person) to develop your leadership skills and confidence as a facilitator

Whether you're looking to advance your career to offer deeply nourishing work or simply bring more joy and movement into your local community, our training will empower you to make a real difference in people's lives.

We’ll begin with a heart-opening cacao ceremony, setting intentions & connecting with the moment. Ease into the vibe with a brief gentle Tai-Chi Qigong warm-up, grounding your body & awakening your energy.

We’ll turn up the tempo with an outdoor conscious dance session powered by a combination of high-vibe PA system & silent disco headsets ~ Go anywhere, feel the full vibe of the music! No substances, just blissful beats, barefoot bliss, & full-body freedom!

As the night winds down, let yourself relax into a mini soothing sound-bath, followed by the ultimate natural reset: a communal wood-fired sauna & sea swim.
