Dance Our Hearts Alive

Come celebrate the wonderful month of February with its National Freedom Day, Groundhog Day, Mardi Gras, Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day and sacred Ramadan. We will explore new ways to move through creative dance. We will find new ways to get through the final days of winter and dance our hearts alive! We will do a little Laughter Yoga, too. No experience necessary--no stress, no worries--just creative wonder.

Mary Nelson has a BA in Dance Education from George Washington University. She continued training in NYC for 5 years, then studied and performed with Barbara Mettler of the Tucson Creative Dance Center. Barbara Mettler's life work was to encourage unbounded dance creativity. Her work developed as a response to Hitler's Nazi restrictions in Germany during WWII. Mary has taught, performed and choreographed dance wherever she has lived. In 1999, Mary helped found a dance collective in Olympia called RADCO (Random Acts of Dance Collective) in 1999. Mary will always dance and her favorite thing is to dance with others--anyone, anywhere.
