I remember taking the MamaDances approach to heart, which in turn helped me discover how my eldest daughter expressed her creativity, and how to harmoniously meet her with my own. Thank you! - Alexina Hicks

Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) is a dance training methodology combining technique with creative process, which has greatly influencing contemporary dance aesthetics. By cultivating effortlessness, one begins letting go of unnecessary holding in the physical self, gaining flexibility, efficiency, freedom. Through guided imagery, music and hands-on partner studies the practice facilitates a deep kinaesthetic experience of movement and in time a shedding of outer layers. It is an experiential, intuitive approach that utilizes imagery as a powerful tool for transformation. Open to all, with or without formal movement training. Drop-ins will only be accepted if you have previous experience in SRT. Wear comfortable clothing in layers. Bring paper and writing instrument. More info on SRT: http://www.skinnerreleasingnetwork.org/ and http://www.skinnerreleasingnetwork.org/ Eryn Dace Trudell is the founder of MamaDances.
