Moving Joy Studios

 

Moving Joy Studios is an organization that creates connections within and between people, communities, organizations, and cultures. We encourage people to move and feel through interdisciplinary experiences and performances. Using the fundamental experience of movement, we address the widespread cultural and global issues of dis-integration, dis-connectedness, and dis-ease.

MISSION: What we do * Create a safe, stunningly beautiful space for movement, dance, and performance * Expose people to high quality dance technique, informed and excellent teaching, and the joy of dance through private lessons and group classes * Create & facilitate movement-centered workshops for the community * Collaborate with artists, scientists, and other professionals to bring thought-provoking, visually striking performances to audiences * Provide a wide range of excellent dance and movement teachers to serve the local, regional, national and global population * Offer one-on-one movement sessions in stretching, self-care, dance, and massage therapy

VISION: Why we do it
Moving Joy Studios is founded on the following beliefs: * Creativity is available to everyone * Movement is life * Dance connects people on the human level * Education about the body helps integrate life * Open creativity, moving the body with confidence, connecting to others, and knowledge increase personal power

Moving Joy Studios is motivated by the following values: * Creativity: in artistic collaboration, use of resources, and solvent business practices * Excellence: in artistry, skill, and education * Respect & cooperation: in our interactions with clients, collaborators, and each other * Delight: our clients and collaborators leave each interaction with a positive emotional response * Service to society: solving significant social problems

We operate all of this from a triple bottom line: People, Planet, Profit.
People : Please refer to mission and vision.
Planet : We use environmentally aware practices in the office, transportation, purchases, and products whenever possible. Our website is hosted by a “green” server that is run primarily by the sustainable resource of wind energy.
Profit : We set wages and fees based on the sustainable practice that dance artists deserve to earn a living wage from their craft.
