At EDMC, we believe that dance lessons teach life lessons, and for our adults, that lesson is often self-care and self-regulation. This class is a dedicated time for you to honor your body’s needs, practice mindfulness, and rediscover the simple, inherent joy of movement.

Mindful Movement is an invitation to step away from the pressures of daily life and reconnect with yourself through the healing power of dance. Designed specifically for adults, this class prioritizes the joy of moving over the mastery of technique. Whether you are a former dancer or have never set foot in a studio, this is a no-pressure environment where the focus is on how you feel, not how you look.

Drawing inspiration from lyrical, modern, and contemporary styles, we will explore fluid transitions and expressive movement to help you feel more grounded and connected to your body. Our sessions emphasize somatic awareness and the simple pleasure of expression, providing a space to move in a way that feels restorative, authentic, and uniquely yours.

  • Discover Emotional Expression: Use movement as a tool to convey personal messages and explore feelings in a safe, supportive space.

  • Cultivate Fluidity and Flow: Learn to move gracefully and seamlessly from one motion to another, focusing on the continuity of energy.

  • Enhance Body Awareness: Practice initiating movement from the inside out, developing a deeper intuition for how the body wants to move.

  • Explore Individual Style: Utilize guided improvisation to discover a unique movement vocabulary that feels natural and healing.

  • Build Community through Breath: Learn to move and breathe in unison with others, fostering a sense of connection and shared experience.

Impact Dance Company (IDC) is a training and performance program for adults. We created Impact Dance Company to create a community for dancers who have graduated from their childhood dance studio's and are searching for a dance community where they can find belonging and friendships. This program offers adults with prior dance experience opportunities to train and perform together. Members of IDC gather weekly for training and rehearsals. Plus, there are photo shoots, video shoots, social media content days, performances, and team parties!

Auditions for IMPACT Dance Company

SZN 9 will be scheduled in January 2027

Testimonials

I highly recommend the adult classes! I spent years trying to find an adult class that was at my level (as they were either too professional or beginner.) After 10 years of not dancing, I found Expressions/ Impact Dance and absolutely love these classes! Amanda does an amazing job of teaching to all levels of the students in her classes. I finally feel like I have found a class that is challenging, yet fun! They always create such amazing routines and I always have an absolute blast!

Madison F.

Being a part of Impact Dance Company has added so much value to my life. It's more than just learning routines, it's about rediscovering my love for dance. Impact has truly enhanced my life, introducing me to a great group of friends, reigniting my passion, and providing me with incredible dance training. The vibe, the camaraderie, the sheer joy – it's all what makes Impact so special!
