If you’ve ever taken a class at Thrive, you’ve felt the personal benefits. Our members have shared with me everything from improvement in digestion, energy and mental health, to shifts and decisions in careers and relationships they’ve been sitting on for decades.
I’m about to nerd out, so stay with me. 🤓
Women are wired for sensuality. We have more nerve endings per square centimeter than the opposite s*x, and have all heightened senses except for one - sight. Women and men have different ocular cells; men see more movement and lines for hunting, women more depth and texture and color for gathering. No bu****it, actual research. Cool right?
We are built for sensuality yet our sensual nature is… “too provocative.”
Go figure. 🙄
BUT get this!
Did you know that dance is rated as the #1 movement modality for longevity and health? Beyond running, lifting weights, yoga or tai chi.
According to a landmark study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, frequent dancing can reduce the risk of developing dementia by 76%. 🧠👣
So you might round the corner from the Adam’ street lot and hear Candy Shop coming through the front doors of Thrive Embodied Arts, but all the hip undulation, nostalgic dance moves and music and singing on the top of our lungs while we twirl around a stationary metal object in our little witchy den isn’t just about art and joy…turns our shaking your Laffy Taffy is about the science too.
Now, I don’t personally need science to know what movement and dance has done for my life and others, but I am here to show you in any way I can, it’s probably what’s missing from yours. So if I have to read medical journals on Friday nights to share the information that gets your ass through our door, I’m fu***ng here for it.
All our Beginner Sessions for new students are full for the rest of the year, but our waitlist for 2027 is ready for you!
See you soon! 🍬
