About us

Heal Through Dance® is about creating your own somatic movement practices. Heal Through Dance distills the essence of Arielle Star Triana's teachings for a worldwide audience. Designed for instructors, dancers, and beginners interested in freeform movement. Heal Through Dance celebrates physical embodiment in the context of the sacred feminine.

  • Somatic Embodiment is at the core of this practice and it means getting out of your head and down into your body. Instead of letting your thinking guide you, shift into sensation consciousness and use your body as part of your inner guidance.

  • Our healing dance practice allows us to become more aware of oneself and what's around us, and attuning to the natural flow of life while experiencing more grace and ease in our body-mind-emotions while connecting us with our intuition.
  • Once you become self-aware and see the dance or story you are in, you can then begin to change it. In the dance, you give past trauma, stress, and tension a place to be expressed and released. So that when you dance, you let go of the old and open up to new ways of being.

  • We move and dance without choreography or steps to learn or follow. Free-form movement is a way for us to become unblocked from patterns and habits in our physical, mental and emotional body. Free-form movement helps the dancer to let go of control and experience states of joy, bliss and ecstasy.

EMBODY

The first part of your training is about Embodiment. Our dance includes six elements including: earth, water, fire, air, sound and light. Each elements correlates with a chakra. Prior to attending the in-person immersion, you will have prerequisites to complete online. We have a created a dynamic video syllabus which gives an overview of each element along with some online somatic movement and ecstatic dance classes so you can prepare for the training and be ready to dive in!

LEARN

At the One Week Immersion it takes place at our studio in tropical paradise of South Florida, USA. You will dance twice a day. Learn how to facilitate all of the elements (earth, water, fire, air, sound and light). Each part of the dance relates to a specific chakra, and you will learn how to guide the chakra activations. Create your own class with an introduction, class invitation, playlist and dance map or script for your first class during the one week immersion. 

PRACTICUM

What is a Practicum? It is where you practice teaching! Right after the one week training, it is time to practice teaching. Spend one month at home doing your practice teaching sessions. These are informal dance classes. The class can be with one other person. It can be with one of your clients, friends or family members. You can do the class online or in person. We recommend that you do 3-4 practice teaching sessions during your one month practicum.
