Dear friends, family, colleagues and dance enthusiasts, 


MamaDances is gaining momentum. We have a great season of classes scheduled this winter, with over 100 dyads participating. Imagine, ten years ago there was nothing like MamaDances and now our classes are selling out and inspired people are starting all kinds of similar activities!

At times like this it’s best to call in the affirmations of the pros…

“No matter how small you start, start something that matters..” Brendon Burchard

I am really excited about the projects coming this summer. A new choreography, will launch the fall 2017 season, for which we hope to gather a hundred MamaDancers on the mountain at Lac aux Castors on September 10. Montmentum will celebrate a decade of MamaDances since our debut at Quartier Danse in 2006. Also, our first International Teachers Training program will take place July 3- 16 at UQAM.

What an enormous achievement!

This season we are hosting two complementary events: Hula Hoop making workshop on March 19th with Kelli and a Baby carrying workshop with Porter de la vie on April 17th.

For those who need private practice, I continue to offer SRT classes each Friday morning at La Poêle, and for my CI friends…well, family, school and business is interfering with my presence on the CI dance floor but whenever I am there, it feels like home.

Thank you for your recommendations. Word of mouth is our strongest publicity. Your voice is powerful and the sharing and growth of this work is the result.

Thank you,
Eryn

MamaDances takes a SPRING BREAK: March 6th-12th

Except Saturday class at UQAM which takes a break the following week due to UQAM Dance Department Auditions.
 

Quartier Danse 2017 presents...
Montmentum

 

maternity unites humanity.

 

MamaDances will engage in a large scale performance project, inviting ten community groups of volunteer dyads to experience an artistic creative process, culminating in the gathering of one hundred mothers/fathers dancing together with their babies, beheld by family, friends and the greater public at Lac aux Castors, Park Mont- Royal on September 10, 2017.

 

Montmentum is a collective celebration that embodies, through movement, music and social engagement, the beauty of unity in the common goal of raising children in peace, harmony, and freedom. It is a manifestation of maternity in movement and a show of solidarity for women and humanity as a whole; beautiful and enlightened moving into the future together…..


This project will give the opportunity for those who wish to explore, with others and their babies an artistic process that will focus on creation and exploration through movement and music and culminate in performance. It will celebrate the dynamic collaborative and cohesive ethno-cultural diversity across our city, and the aesthetic values of love, care, beauty and compassion that is the maternal bond and which connects and units all of humanity.

Rehearsals will begin August 18.

There are many opportunities to get involved with this project. We need , volunteer dyads, community partners, a project manager and a promotion coordinator, sponsors and fundraisers !

Please contact us for more details and to get involved.

Skinner Releasing Technique is a dance training methodology combining technique with creative process, which is greatly influencing today's dancing 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 kinesthetic 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.
