Ann has extensive, in-depth conscious movement training—personal practice and teaching experience—since 2002. A previous Nia Black Belt instructor, Ann trained at every belt level with co-founders Debbie Rosas Stewart and Carlos Rosas in this Joy, Awareness and Body’s-Way honoring fitness program. Nia, was the original Non-Impact-Aerobics, introducing the concept of fusion fitness with 9 different movement forms (3 each from the dance arts, martial arts and healing arts).
Simultaneously, Ann was a dedicated Dancemeditation™ Practitioner and Teacher, in the pioneering Sufi embodied mysticism work of its founder, Sufi Master Dunya Dianne McPherson, BFA, MA. Dunya’s annual movement monasteries and other workshops offered the authentic experience of heightened peace, presence and awareness from embodied higher states of consciousness, achieved naturally through slow movement, witness dancing, embodiment practices, veil dancing, contemplation, deep rest, chanting and more.
Inspired by and synthesizing the Joy of Movement in Nia, presence and veil dancing in Dancemeditation and a wholehearted gratitude practice, Ann created a 40 day Dancing Gratitude practice inviting colleagues, friends and passersby to open dances on Siesta Key Beach, Florida. Months later, she was intuitively guided to move to Maui where she soon met and trained with Dr. Sierra L. Levy, a Naturopath, Acupuncturist, Master Healer, Kundalini Expert, Psychic and Midwife and founder of The Resonance Therapy® and Resonance Healing® Meta-System™. Presently Ann is blessed to be writing a forthcoming book about this Light Legacy System, Map, Principles and brilliance with Dr. Sierra.
On Maui, Ann organized Dancing Gratitude for World Gratitude Day with a view of the Pacific. She soon met Annie Stackhouse, a Movement Educator and professional Modern Dancer, and they teamed up to create unique Dance Anywhere events for residents and visitors with different dance and movement skills. Ann helped produce these events, which Stackhouse designed and choreographed so that they could be performed with just a very brief rehearsal at the start. These one-of-a-kind themed events included Holding Up The Sky (2013), Balls and Laughter (2014), Reach (2015), and Sweet Sixteen (2016).
Inspired by The Resonance Therapy® and Resonance Healing® Meta-System™ and its Map, Ann founded Resonance Dance™ to embody, practice and share Dr. Sierra’s Light Legacy helping individuals and groups hold and anchor more Light, realize their authentic yes/no’s and discover True Priorities.
