TESTIMONIALS

“I felt reconnected to my creative soul for the first time in a long time. I was able to let go of the outside world and truly immerse myself within our little community and feel that fire inside again. My mind, body, and soul needed this more than I even knew.” -Moving Freely participant

“With great care, Suzanne invites you to stretch and mutate not only your physical dance vocabulary, but what dance means for you altogether. Her deceptively simple instruction opens portals to a freer and wiser sense of physical knowing, and bridges us together beautifully (even through screens!).” -Workshop participant

“I have improved significantly because of Suzanne. No one else has pushed me so far off my comfort zone, and I really feel gutsy. She explains concepts in a way that I can actually understand.” -Elon University Student

Suzanne “made an effort to get to know us, and what we were capable of, and I think created a great class that worked in many spaces. I would say she creates a great environment that feels safe and fun, and one where we can make mistakes and ask questions.” - City College of San Francisco Student
