The study groups
Movement Lab’s Study Groups are an invitation to explore dance as a social technology—an embodied practice that brings people together, fosters shared experience, and opens access to deeper ways of knowing, relating, and being.
Rather than focusing solely on individual progress or self-improvement, our approach centers the body as a site of dialogue, presence, and transformation. Through structured practice and open exploration, we investigate how movement shapes our capacity to participate fully in life and in community.
These year-long programs welcome adults of all ages and backgrounds into a committed group process. Each group becomes a living container for collective inquiry, where movement is not just something we do, but a way we learn, connect, and grow—together.
The curriculum weaves together athletic and somatic elements of dance with reflective and theoretical components. Sessions are designed to deepen both physical awareness and social sensitivity, supporting not just embodiment, but mutual attunement.
Each program is led by experienced teachers and includes access to our weekly jam, a 25% discount on our online courses, a group Q&A session, and a one-on-one feedback conversation.

I have experienced the Movement Lab study group as a unique space for growth, both on a personal and professional level. On a physical level, I developed more strength, endurance, flexibility, resilience, as well as trust in my capacities.
As a group I think we have all deepened our skills of listening, being self-responsible, communicating, expressing, experimenting, and last but not least, to be willing to show up and to connect authentically, with our full being.
Studying with the Movement Lab teached me the connection between movement, dance and communication. I love exploring not only "how" to move but also "why". The principles behind his teaching allow me to experience a wider range of possibilities and to step into the unknown with curiosity. In the studio and in life.
We are always moving, but not always aware of it. By exploring how we move, we also open up avenues of freedom that may otherwise stay stuck in routine.
