It's lay-mens terms for dancers.
She said. "I'm going to Deep Dance and MUUV!"
Thank you so much for your dedication to inspire people to dance, and support the Strong Kids Campaign. This year was another success for DDX as well as a successful auction!
"Thank You!" Your dedication is extremely appreciated. Thank you for the joy you bring our members and the work you've done to help support those in need.
"Deep Dance IS my therapy. It is where I go to celebrate, grieve, and process. It is a place where mind, body, and spirit all come together as one. Thank you Kris!"
"Dancing professionally fueled my passion for years. With marriage, 2 kids....well the dancing and passion have been zilch.Zero.Nada! (not that this is a bad thing-just not a euphoric thing). Kris, and Deep Dance have brought this back into my life! If you have a heart beat you have rhythm, so come shake your bootie and get euphoric about life!"
"Thank you-a recently deprived dancer."
"The women I dance with are various shapes, sizes, and ages. We have our own issues and hardships that we must deal with in our separate lives. But when the music starts and we start to move, our hearts are united, and it feels like nothing else matters. We are empowered by our ability to dance, whatever that ability may be. What we each take with us when we leave the room may be invisible to the naked eye, but it is undeniably infinite."
"SOMEBODY CALL ELLEN!"
"I was in a work-out rut when I discovered your energetic class. Now, I'm totally hooked and motivated and hate to miss a session. My body is leaner, stronger, and I feel more confident. (My husband loves it!)"
"I love how 'liquid' the moves are! It is so 'freeing' and allows me to move in a way that 'normal' people don't get to move everyday and I appreciate that permission to move in that way!"
"The Deep Dance class keeps me in balance... During class, I feel light in body, mind, and spirit, after class I feel strong, flexible, tall, steadfast, passionate, young and beautiful. The Deep Dance class as well as particular personal development skills I am working on are positively changing the way I think and feel about myself and my capabilities... It has certainly changed my life."
"What a great class. The music is fun to move to. The steps are easy to follow and a good workout... I don't watch the clock – the time goes by fast and I get a good workout. I leave the class in a better mental state than when I came, and I look forward to the next class."
"You set the stage for anyone to try your class. As you encouragingly lead us to "loosely" follow your movements, which amazingly, naturally correspond to the music, and make up some of our own, I find I can let go. With this letting go, we can all laugh at ourselves and find a little more of our own spirit."
"I look forward to watching myself grow in front of that mirror every Tuesday and Thursday at 10 am. I look forward to allowing myself to open up more when I dance, to not be embarrassed and how I look, and learn to embrace my figure exactly the way it is."
"When I came to class those first couple of months, I had moments of awareness that I was not broken, even though it felt like I was. I had moments of feeling empowered that I could walk out that door after class and show the world that I can do it all over again, and better this time.
Your class lifted me up, lifted my sad spirit and helped to get flying again. While I have still not decided on what I want to do with the rest of my life, nor have my wounds fully healed, I do know I am on the right track, and dance class is part of that.
"Happy Hour. That's what I call my Tuesday-Thursday dance class. After three babies and 10 years of not exercising enough, I finally found it! Kris, I love the way you teach, the music rocks and after only seven weeks (who's counting?) I have way more energy, might be a bit more toned and I just feel HAPPY!"
"I am 59 years old and this past year going through a divorce after 26 years of marriage. Your class has been of great benefit to me both emotionally and physically and in addition has just been a great joy to attend... Emotionally the class has been beneficial because it is just plain fun and I feel great afterwards. It has been helpful to know that I am doing something good for my body and soul."
"Dance on Tuesday morning is one of the highlight of my week. The results both during class and after class are both physical and spiritual... I also love my whole body moving in sync. There is something whole, complete about that. The combination of great music, great moves, happy people, makes me feel very grateful. Gratitude really describes dance. I am grateful for each muscle, each effort. Grateful that my body can do these things and feel stretched, strengthened in the process."
"I have exercised for 25 years. Your class is the only class I have thoroughly enjoyed and look forward to every week.... I love the music, the moves, the people, the energy... I feel great after your class. It helps clear my mind and helps start my day in a more positive light."
"The class is fun and you and others make me feel welcome and motivated and not out of place surrounded by all the beauty."
"This has been great for me and helped lift my self-esteem."
"Your class is my "breath of fresh air", 'let it all hang out', 'out with the negative – in with the positive', 'it's all small stuff', 'God is everywhere', 'love yourself', 'let it all go', 'you can reinvent yourself every minute', 'open your eyes and your heart', reminder every Tuesday and Thursday. Plus it's a kick ass workout and a perfect dance class for a non-dancer. Dance like you're all alone but in a great big room filled with great people and great energy."
"Your Deep Dance means a lot to me. It marries so many things together: great music, movement, memories, smiles, good thoughts and intensions – all of that and a workout!"
DDX gives adults a reason to be like a kid again. It seems the older we get, the easier it is to narrow our focus. We laugh less, we play less, we work more, we move less and we are way too serious. When we move, we only move in regimented and uncreative way. DDX lets us reconnect to child like movement and spirit. It gives us PERMISSION to move in ANY way and to not worry about looking ridiculous."
"Your class has given me an enormous amount of self well-being, excitement, and an incredible spiritual power! WOW!"
"What an amazing way to get a lift in my day. I absolutely cannot live without your class two times a week. I have a constant song in my head and dance in my step. Wow! My husband owes you one too! Love it!"
"I love it so much, and look very forward to Thursday mornings, where I can come let my guard down and get my groove on."
"Love the freedom, the joy, the natural high I feel when I participate in your class. That time is precious to me."
