Dance Coaching

As you find ways of moving in concert with your body, your artistic expression streams through you more directly.

Our approach to working with dancers is founded deeply in the understanding that dance is a technically and physically demanding sport. Yet, we believe the artistry requires that the body be honoured for its wisdom. You free the spirit that moves through you when you honour your body’s truths.

When a dancer more fully understands how their body works and then embodies that understanding, they have begun to master their beautiful tool.

Dojiva’s Kimba Bridgeman (formerly Ruess) trained at the School of American Ballet in NYC and Seattle’s Pacific Northwest Ballet and danced classical ballet and modern dance with a number of companies and ensembles in the Seattle area. She has been privately coaching dancers through therapeutic Pilates, fitness, anatomical education, bodywork and dance technique for the last 12 years. She has experience working with young dancers as well as professionals.

In addition to offering private sessions, Kimba is available for guest lectures and workshops as well as technique classes for dance schools and companies.
