ABOUT

I have spent more than two decades learning and teaching various dance forms and movement practices including Classical Egyptian & Tribal Style bellydance, Bhangra, Classical Indian Dance, Polynesian styles, and most recently, Qoya. Pursuing dance as a spiritual path has led me to dive even deeper into movement as a life-changing practice, an opportunity for emotional healing, and a powerful way to achieve mind-body alignment by tapping into our inner Source for guidance in life.

I believe movement can be potent medicine for our souls, powerful metaphor for understanding our relationship to our world and ourselves, and transformative magic to alchemize the pain and trauma of life's struggles into holistic healing and embodied living.

GETTING TO KNOW

Zee Kirk

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU TO TEACH QOYA?

Teaching Qoya, for me, is a fullness, a culmination and new beginning of a path I began several decades ago. I feel like my years as a bellydance instructor began my journey of embodiment, and helped me appreciate the healing power of movement and a community of women. And now Qoya has brought me round full circle, back to the beginning of myself, back to a new path to wholeness, to embodiment, and to another opportunity to assist women and empower them to go within & to follow the thread of embodiment--all while doing something that makes my soul sing! Teaching Qoya is an honor and a gift, one that I am grateful for in new ways every day.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE WHO IS FEELING INSPIRED TO TRY QOYA FOR THE FIRST TIME?

Let go of being self conscious, of worrying that you "aren't a dancer" or won't know how to do it "right". Just relax, forget the negative self talk and start listening to your body--she has a lot to say! Let the music fill you, be curious about the experience, and trust that the group of women you're dancing with are there because they have a shared experience, and building community with each other makes us stronger, as individuals and as a whole. Also, expect to have more fun than you've ever imagined a movement class could give you!
