5RTA| May Teacher Spotlight

Looking back, I see that I was engaged in an important struggle. My autonomy was vital – the space to be as I am, self-directed and free to express and dance in my own way. Belonging was vital – needing the nourishment of a tribe – and wanting to explore what happens when we are who we are together. Surrendering to the dynamic flow between these needs was my struggle.

5RTA | March Teacher Spotlight

Original Skin is where we are most alive with the powerful innocence of instinct and the vulnerable action of putting our hearts out in the world. . This is the dance into the deep well of being human, the practice of trusting the feet and finding the dance that only you can do because that is the dance that is so needed, this is my next offering and my invitation.

5RTA | November Teacher Spotlight

When we crossed the border to Austria as refugees, 200 km away from my birthplace, I saw a completely different world which I was forced to enter. I was 11. I ate pizza for the first time in my life in the “western world” and I felt betrayed – I felt the lack of not having and being enough. I developed shame for coming from a “communistic country”. I lost my roots. And then I met pride and rage, they became my best friends for a long time.
