Elise Frost

Teacher

Adult Beginner Contemporary, Adult Beginner Ballet

Elise Frost is a choreographer, movement educator, and bodyworker holding an MFA in Dance Theory and Performance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a BFA in Dance Performance and Composition from the University of Florida. Her training in dance led her to engage with several branches of somatic practice that laid the foundation for her interest in the body as a site for radical process and transformation. In 2019 she completed her certification in massage therapy from the prestigious Berkana Institute of Massage Therapy in Longmont, Colorado where she subsequently became an instructor and continued advanced training as a therapeutic bodyworker. She recently moved to the Bloomington area after starting a successful bodywork and movement business in Davenport, Iowa to be closer to family and become rooted in the land of the Midwest. She braids her diverse movement experience together in order to continue to investigate and develop methods and explore infrastructures relating to human connection, movement and their place in ecological stewardship. Her primary focus is on how movement systems, the phenomenon of human touch, wholehearted engagement, and critical thinking can facilitate positive change. She is currently working towards completing an Interdisciplinary Movement & Somatics program through somakinese school, building a massage practice, and guiding folks to understand the bliss of their moving bodies through dance.

Sarah Waterson

Teacher

Adult Hip Hop, Adult Modern Dance Fitness

Sarah’s experience and pursuit of dance has been largely unconventional and independent. She did not grow up dancing in studios and her training is a diverse mixture of education and self instruction. As a result, she seeks to teach from a perspective of alternative training that provides opportunity for a large variety of people. Sarah has a liberal arts degree from Indiana University where she studied international human rights, studio art, and dance. Her dance experience and education includes hip hop, improvisation, contemporary dance, acrobatics, and house. Sarah’s classes combine physical training with artistic narrative and a range of different dance styles.
