Sanctuary for somatic healing arts

"When I started ballet with Stefani I was very stiff and had problems with mobility in my hips, ankles and feet. I am SO much stronger now, and more flexible! AoA Ballet and JoyBarre has done more for my healing process than YEARS of PT! I can squat to do gardening and get back up again! That was not available to me before! My balance and posture has vastly improved. I have a new sense of self and a more joyful attitude towards life! I have found my "ballet body" thanks to Stefani's loving teaching!

I LOVE Stefani's classes! As a somatic-based dance teacher myself, I am always struck by the way Stefani's cues speak to my whole body! If you are an adult that wants to learn, sense and feel the beauty of ballet in a gentle, non-stressful environment, with a mindful integrative approach that honors the form equally to honoring your Soma, check out her classes
