GETTING TO KNOW
Rochelle Gates
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU TO TEACH QOYA?
To teach Qoya is a complete privilege. I adore how it brings so many things I love together. I love to dance and I also love to connect and go deep. It's inspiring for me to bring women together to explore, to have fun, to reveal, to share, and be real. It is a portal to remember the magic and to continually bring me back to reverence like a magnet that I can't get enough of. It has taught me to bring that reverence into my every day life. It's one thing to do an amazing course or experience or have the most dynamic adventure, it's another thing to really begin to feel those things every day. It is an honour to dance with those that love to dance, and it is an honour to dance with those that are initially terrified of dancing and at the idea of moving their body and everyone in between.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE WHO IS FEELING INSPIRED TO TRY QOYA FOR THE FIRST TIME?
I would firstly say come! Really come as you are. There is no way you can do it wrong and the way you no you are doing it right is if it feels good to you (this is a principle of Qoya). Come to dance and connect. Qoya has truly touched me deeply, I had an ache before Qoya that I didn't completely know how I would meet. Through Qoya, through dancing, through this community, through meeting, loving and connecting with women, this ache has most definitely been met, seen, acknowledged, and loved up.
