A lifelong lover of dance...

Movement is at the core of Embodied Arts & Wellness.

 

Lucia is a lifelong lover of dance and has trained professionally in contemporary, classical, improvisational and somatic dance forms. She has worked as a choreographer, movement director and has taught dance, yoga, movement and physical theater to all ages, including at The New School, Hunter College and Professional Performing Arts School in Manhattan,University of Connecticut (UCON) and Rocky Mountain Theater for Performing Arts and Perry Mansfield School and Camp in CO. 

​

As a child, Lucia studied improvisational dance extensively  with Juliette Daley, former All American gymnast, dancer and visual artist. This shaped her tremendously in the way she teaches, which is process based and experimental in nature. Embodied Arts & Wellness is committed to shifting children's movement education back towards developmentally appropriate, non-sensationalized movement for the sake of movement. Because when the body is in motion, the whole nervous system and brain are happier!​​​​

In 2005, Lucia discovered the work of Melissa Michaels, Ed.D. in Boulder, CO. and she began a 7 years training and mentorship in 5Rhythms dance with Melissa and the SomaSource institute. In 2022, Lucia became a SomaSource practitioner. 

​

This marked a shift towards Intuitive Dance, a somatic practice that is for personal and spiritual growth rather than for performance.

​

Lucia began offering Dancing Home, a free-form somatic movement process in the lineage of SomaSource in Spring of 2023.
