Deep Dives
It can be hard to find dance that’s accessible and not incredibly intimidating if you haven’t been training since you were 4. Our Deep Dives are a great, low-pressure and non-competitive way to grow and push yourself as a dancer.

Choreography Deep Dives
Our choreography deep dives are a great way to learn a new routine, dive into technique and movement in a deeper way than what we offer in classes.
Dance as Meditation
Led by Maria Cooper, dancers are invited to use movement as a way to dig deeper into themselves and their meditative practice.
What People Are Saying about Dance as Meditation
Deep Dive with Maria was the best thing I have done for myself in a very long time. After the intensity of this year, I was feeling disconnected and shut down. Through Maria's intuitive and loving facilitation, that spark of life force inside of me was reignited. Not only did deep dive provide a safe space for exploration and processing, it enabled me to access joy. Deep Dive is pure medicine for the soul.

Dance as Meditation was a rewilding experience for me. Maria creates a safe container for you to go deep into your own body’s movement and natural rhythms. The music was varied, expressive and inspirational. This workshop helped me find my “movement voice.”
— Sue Y.
I've been attending dance classes at Alchemy regularly for the past several years, but the Dance as Meditation Deep Dive was a uniquely enriching experience that allowed me to expand my experience of dance. My weekly dance classes at Alchemy always bring me so much joy, but this experience was fundamentally different and powerful: it taught me how to use creative movement, breath, and music to enhance my ability to be fully present.
