What is The Body Groove Method?
BodyGroove is moving your body your way.

Go to www.NikeWomen.com for your customized BodyGroove workout

The Body groove method is a new way to think about how we move our bodies. After being a professional dancer for years I came to understand that my body wanted to move differently than what I saw and was being taught. After many years of trying to be like everyone else I learned to embrace this uniqueness and I know that once you taste the truth about your body and how it wants to move and express, it will permeate into all areas of your life, opening you up to a whole new way of being, a unique way of being, YOUR way. You will find optimal health when you become connected to your body and learn to listen to its needs. Once you begin to honor the way your body wants to move and allow your feeling, thoughts and emotions to express through your movement you begin to fuse the connection between the mind, body and spirit for a life that is full of energy, expression and passion.

EVERYONE CAN DANCE!
Dance is organic, it is in our DNA. We are constantly in a state of movement even when we are sleeping. Every culture has used dance to communicate, celebrate, express and heal. EVERYONE can dance and everyone has their own unique expression, dance or way of moving! Once we get past the fear that we look stupid or “uncool” and begin to celebrate the awesomeness of how our bodies move, we can begin to love our bodies and our own unique expression of movement.
