ABOUT THIS 1HR CLASS
"Hozho" is the Diné philosophy of life. It means balance and harmony in all aspects of life. The class will be centered around finding hozho in our bodies, our minds, our hearts and our spirits.
For those of us who work with and for communities, taking time to release stress, rebuild our energy and rejuvenate our minds and bodies is essential. Some of us give a lot of ourselves to our work and the time and space to be home can be used to give ourselves a bit of love and attention. We will work with movement to undo and release any stress in the body and utilize breath and sound to give intention and healing to our whole selves and to each other. This class is for all ages.

postponed, Urban X Indigenous Festival
Urban X Indigenous Festival
May 2, 2020
In Ohlone Lands,
San Francisco Bay Area.
DANCING EARTH will be holding performances and/or video installations at:
Urban X Indigenous Festival on May 2, 2020
Postponed due to Covid-19. Please stay safe!
URBAN x INDIGENOUS (UxI) is a multi-disciplinary, inter-generational convening of artists, activists, incubators, scholars, and community members to honor our ancestors in a society which is driven by the act of leaving them behind. How do we thrive in a time and place that shoves our ancestral connections and indigenous ties to the side? What can we do as a community to ensure our earth is replenished and not a free-for-all wasteland driven by for-profit and for-politics? Why is it important for us to embrace our indigenous selves and find ways to integrate our urban lifestyle into our ancient ways? Who then do we become once we finally feel that we are fully whole as urban-indigenous dwellers who do we become if we are not willing to be at peace with this at all? Envisioned in 2015 by hip hop dance artist and indigenous arts advocate, Samantha “SAMMAY” Dizon, this event invites the next generation of movers, shakers, and believers to remember those who lived before us so that we may breathe in the life force of today.

"I learned how to dance cooking with my family in the kitchen! I love turning up the tunes while we prepare food, or clean up after a meal. Move your table aside and get ready to move them hips! We are going to learn cumbia and latin dance basics and various ways to integrate them into multiple dance forms. I do not pretend to be an expert, I just love to dance! I will show you what I learned from my family and on the dance floor in various countries and cities. Hopefully this will be fun for all, or if anything, help you get the dishes done faster."
