Looking to reconnect with your movement practice? “saltshake” is a new dance format that is specifically designed to relieve Trauma held in the body, while allowing dancers the space to explore their authentic movement expression.

SALTSHAKE LLC is devoted to Trauma-Informing the dance industry while providing disembodied dancers with tools to reconnect with embodiment. SALTSHAKE LLC is home to two, Trauma-Informed Dance Formats, Barefoot Ballet, and our namesake, saltshake.

saltshake is a Trauma-Informed dance flow that seamlessly choreographs Yoga Asana poses, somatic experiencing techniques, and Breathwork into an expressive movement performance in sync with a lyrical playlist of Binaural Beats. Each class is created with an emotional intent, (such as regulating anxiety,) then crafted with movements and music that are proven to directly support said intent. The saltshake format creates narrative, expressive choreography based off of accessible, healing movements. No matter your dance experience, you will feel a sense of release and empowerment by the end of our 60 minutes together.
