ABOUT ALLYSSA:

Allyssa S. Rivera (A-li-sha), pronouns she/her/ella, holds an M.S. in Dance/Movement Therapy from Sarah Lawrence College and a B.A. in Socio-Cultural Anthropology from NYU. As an embodiment facilitator and dance alchemist with The 360 Emergence, she fuses therapeutic expertise with artistic and spiritual depth. Native to Puerto Rico, Allyssa’s journey through diverse clinical and community settings, including Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC, reflects her commitment to healing, as dance provided her from a very young age.

Allyssa’s holistic approach, shaped by cultural awareness, supports transformative experiences, showcasing the capacity for dance and movement to bridge cultures and catalyze growth.

ABOUT BODYWERK:

Forget dancing like you’re used to. Forget your strategies and training. Forget the contracted - buttoned up - perfection pinched - filtered frills … and all the ways you’ve been told how you should be, move, behave and feel.

F*ck that.

BODYWERK is the new way to ignite our [w*rk] week. We explore our soma through focused practice, then unleash the brilliant - profane - sexy - holy - surprising creativity that makes us.

Tap into MORE with less effort

Find your POWER without the push

Get WEIRD without the awkward

+ BOLD without apology.

Let’s UNLOCK our full spectrum-

TOGETHER.

Nothing to learn

Everything to remember

All are welcome.
