About AVAdance
Created by Michelle Ava, M.A., AVAdance is a gentle mind/body and spirit-in-motion practice. AVAdance synergizes the beauty of dance, the spirituality of yoga, and the philosophies of contemporary transformational teachings to create experiences of Authentic Vibrant Awareness.

AVAdance Mission Statement
- Provide safe, supportive, and inspiring programs and environments for people to learn and feel more at home in their bodies and in their movements for creative expression, personal growth, and spiritual awakening.
- Provide transformational movement experiences that increase self-awareness and build community, allowing people to live richer, more empowered lives expressively, joyfully, and in relatedness.
- Create and present modern dance and theater works as a creative and spiritual celebration.
AVAdance Vision
AVAdance is a methodology of movement developed by Michelle Ava, M.A., that assists people of all ages in being more at home in their bodies. AVAdance programs explore the awakening body as a vehicle to develop sensual aliveness, enhanced personal expression, a deeper exploration of the Self, and spiritual inspiration.
AVAdance programs introduce and expand us into the NOW. . . into the stillness that underlies all. . . the Spirit of motion, and awakens us to our Authentic Vibrant Awareness.
As we allow our awareness to open through the body, we can experience a visceral inner connectivity; we can embrace and enhance our experience of Self; our relatedness; our happiness; our joy.
We unfold our inner core as we inquire, reflect, dance, connect, and weave mindfulness with meditation and movement. We tap into the belly of Being alive, the core. Alone and in partnership. In community.
We can move into emotional healing. The disowned pieces of our selves are assembled and come into Presence, joining together, unifying into wholeness. As we find our ONE SELF we also discover the Divine presence embodying all that is.
With love and compassion, we pay attention. The body wakes up. And as the body awakens, we become filled with even more love and compassion.
Our dance together is of the Spirit
Of the sacred
It is a prayer
It is Now
It is One
