Safe, playful, and deeply grounding

Dancing from feeling

The focus isn’t just on steps or technique, it’s about expressing yourself, connecting with your body, and finding freedom through movement. Whether exploring sensuality or the powerful movements & rhythms of Afro-Modern Dance, Bess encourages you to move from within and be fully present.

Bess explains movement with clarity, creativity, and a sense of humor. Her vivid cues (like the famous "invisible thread") stick with you, and often apply to life beyond the dance floor.

Room to grow
