We gather in this workshop to honor our bodies by channeling healing and love from our ancestors with meditation, dance, and writing. In learning the traditional Tahitian dance steps, we release physical and emotional tensions held in our hips, shoulders and back. Moving our bodies to create the elements, we express the true nature of our souls and acknowledge where we stand. Please join us as for an afternoon of transformation and the celebration of our bodies with power, love, and intention.

ABOUT THE FACILITATORS:
LEOLANI GALLARDO
Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Leolani has over 23 years of dance experience competing, performing, and teaching internationally. She started out as a student of Hula at the age of 7 years old. As a teen she began her long journey in to learning the cultural art of Ori Tahiti. Tahitian dance opened her up to freestyle/improvisational work, lead her to learning and training with the best Tahitian masters inside and outside of Tahiti, and, eventually lead her to lots of performances and projects in the entertainment industry. Over the years, Leolani found her calling in teaching Ori Tahiti basic technique and choreography to anyone who wanted to learn how to express themselves in a way they never have before. It became her goal to empower women globally through Tahitian movement. Leolani is especially known for being a touring artist teaching Ori Tahiti workshops in Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, Indonesia, and Barcelona. This year Leolani started her first and very own Ori Tahiti dance school based in Mid-City Los Angeles called TE AHO NUI, which means, breath deep. Her curriculum focuses on the technique, language, and culture of Tahitian dance.See more of Leolani's work at http://www.dancewithleolani.com/
