Michael Z

Ever since he first tumbled into Dance Jam sometime towards the end of the last century, Michael Z's body-heart has been broken/open by the power of music to move, enrich and awaken.

Since then, his love of movement and music has drawn him through the needle's eye of focused practice in a variety of conscious dance practices, including 5Rhythms and especially Soul Motion. Mentored by Vinn Marti and Zuza Engler, Michael completed the teacher training in Soul Motion in early 2009, and is currently an apprentice in this work.

He offers The Ocean Refuses No River weekly class in Soul Motion-inspired movement practice, and teaches regularly with music and presence in Nevada City, Sebastopol and elsewhere. He's constantly reminded of the power of music to inspire the longer, wider and deeper view of life, and aspires to bring this perspective into each dance room he enters.
