Embodied Dance provides you with the exact tools you need to begin making an Impact and Income from your soul work!
Embodied Dance offers holistic dance training, online courses and integrated healing that supports each individual's path towards empowerment, personal development and conscious leadership. The embodied Dance Teacher Training is a somatically conscious movement that supports you in releasing what’s stuck so that you can be in your personal power with ease and flow, guiding others back to themselves through dance as a healing art.
Using the body as a doorway and guide, we work through tension and limiting beliefs to facilitate new physical body patterns and new mental/ emotional habits; achieving a new level of freedom and expression- from the inside out.
Since the dawn of time, dance has been used for ritual, rite of passage, healing of self, community, connection to earth, our hearts, spirit and to each other.
The sacred remembrance of those times still lives in our DNA.
ALL people were intended to move… not just professionals, Everyone!
My goal with Embodied Dance is to make dance training accessible to the masses and to give those who are on the professional track or who have been there, tools for bringing out the most expressive, authentic aspects of your performance qualities and artistry as well as those who wish to be teachers and facilitators, using Embodied Dance methods to make an impact and income as a healing artist.
THE WAY FORWARD IS EMBODIMENT.
Meet Allison
Hi! I'm Allison! I've been self employed for the past 22 years. I struggled to figure out the proper methods for my life's work to come into form. In the course, Impact to Income, I share with you the EXACT steps iI used to leave my job as a college professor and make a full time living from my purpose- EMBODIED DANCE. If you follow the steps, you will ultimately have clarity and a plan to move forward! I look forward to connecting with you!
Allison has spent the past 20 years traveling, training, and teaching in major universities, hospitals, private dance and wellness studios working with groups and individuals to find healing, enhance performance qualities and support in life transitions through the dance, movement and the healing arts.
Allison's training at the University of Massachusetts, the University of Lismore and the University of Melbourne Australia have given her a solid background of understanding humanity through the lens of anthropology, dance and holistic health. Allison has been a certified bodywork therapist and Reiki Master since 2000. Her yoga training was completed through Integrative Yoga Therapy (Brazil, 2005) and Wild Grace Arts (Olympia, WA, 2011). She holds certifications from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (NYC, 2006), the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America, (Hawaii, 2007) the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (Austria, 2003), and the Simonson Method of Dance Teacher Training at Dance New Amsterdam (NYC, 2012).

She is a former lecturing professor at Iona College and former professor of dance technique at Manhattanville College. She completed her MFA in Dance through Montclair State University in 2018.

Allison believes that dance is a universal art form with the power to heal and transform individuals and audiences when approached with mindfulness at the core of its process. Her background in Cultural Anthropology and world travel shape her perspective that 'all people are meant to express through dance'.
Embodied Dance was born out of a desire to fill in the gaps in dance training where the mind body connection is often missing. She seeks to provide experiences using dance as a communicative tool to explore how we interpret, address and envision what it means to be human; evolving and responding to our changing times.
She currently offers the Embodied Dance Teacher Training Certification for dancers who wish to be supported on the path of soul artistry, healing transformation and conscious leadership.
