Studies show that dance helps reduce stress, increase levels of feel-good hormones, and helps develop new neural connections—especially in executive function, long-term memory, and spatial recognition.

Through dance movement, you are able to get in touch with, express, and explore emotions that may be lodged in the body. This sort of movement allows you to release the trauma imprinted in your mind, body and as a result the nervous system. Allowing for cathartic release, and adaptive processing of trauma.

Origin of Flamenco: Living under extreme suppression, persecution, and suffering, the Romani began to express themselves through song and dance. This is why traditional Flamenco is sad and heartbreaking.
