Mind in Motion

Mind in Motion: Where psychology meets the dance floor.

Lisa's background as a licensed psychotherapist informs a unique set of workshops exploring the inner life of dancers, teachers, and troupes. Mind in Motion offerings draw from her book-in-progress of the same name, covering four interconnected areas:

Energy & Motivation
Managing performance energy, building sustainable practice habits, recovering from burnout, and developing the stage presence that stops a room.

Dance Dynamics
The psychology of lead and follow, the neuroscience of group flow and synchrony, and the communication skills that make troupes cohesive on and off the stage.

The Business & Identity of Dance
Readiness to teach, finding your artistic voice, overcoming comparison and imposter syndrome, and creating welcoming class environments.

Healthy Communities, Healthy Artists
Trauma-informed spaces, ethics in dance communities, boundaries for teachers and students, and giving and receiving feedback with clarity and care.

These workshops are available as standalone offerings or combined into a themed intensive. All are grounded in research, practical tools, and experience.
