@ One Space Holistic Studio, Skuinshuis, Ryneveld Street, Stellenbosch, Western Cape.

@One Space has undergone a huge transformation since its beginnings. @ One Space has moved to a larger studio at the back of the building. Now I can truly live my dream.

Over the years I have experienced many dance forms and process- orientated movement practices. And NOW at last I have created and integrated a fantastic method that leads to an ecstatic dance experience. I teach these classes at @ One Space.

I am inspired by Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms, Martha Graham’s amazing legacy, Bradford Keeney’s Shaking Medicine, Ratu Bagus’ Shaking Meditation, Osho Shaking Meditation and the Trauma Releasing Exercises, Dr. Bercilli.

Even more inspirational has been my own journey since the age of five through the rigours of Ballet Training, with the Zaymes Academy of Dancing, Cape Town. Years of Contemporary Dance Training as taught by an incredible teacher Renee Ricca in the 1960’s. Followed by a series of amazing women teachers who continued to mould me and inspire me to reach for my own creative genius. Audrey Turner, Jenny Curtis, Sandra Wiener, and the wonderful Tessa Marwick.

I attended the UCT Drama school. I was fortunate to have teachers and fellow students who were extremely talented; Mavis Taylor, Roy Sargeant, Keith Anderson, Rosalie van der Gucht, and more. My fellow students were Janice Honeyman, Pieter Dirk-Uys, Marcel van Heerden, Winston Dunston, Grete Fox and others who have made their mark in theatre and silver screen.

The work I did at the Little Theatre changed me into a deeply feeling and intuitive being. I soaked up all these experiences and stored them to be used in the future to create my own form of creative expression.

When I became a Flying Trapeze Artist in 1970 I was privileged to be trained by the great designer and maverick, Keith Anderson. I developed as a flying trapeze artist under the skilful tutelage of Lee Marillee a world renowned Catcher from the USA. He caught the first triple somersault  in the States, and his wife Mary was one of the top female artists of her time.

Much later after a long period rearing four children I was ready to embark on my dancer’s Path once more. I presented a 10 week self-development process that took a person on a journey through the seven chakras. The Dance of the Seven Veils, 1995. My first adventure into the Therapeutic Dance Art form.

Since those days I have become a Holistic Practitioner. My training by International yeachers included, Holgraphic Repatterning, Lindwall Releasing, the Reconnction, Reiki, Hypnotherapy and many energy -based disciplines. This knowledge has made it possible to include a healing component to the practice of @One zpirit danz. It is a holistic form of movement.

Dance is silent poetry, the language of the soul. Instead of seeking enlightenment through transcending the body, it is awe -inspiring to discover that enrealment lies within this embodiment of spirit. We spend our lives driven by anxiety, a feeling of panic that seems to have no specific origin. We try to make sense out of everything with our minds. We are continually taught to distrust our body selves. We have overlooked the truth that the body stores all information and holds a key to our healing and peace.

@One zpirit danz introduces you to the wonder of your body. As you become aware of the fine vibrations of zpirit coursing throuugh the energy channels of the body, feel the shimmering of the muscles and the tension released you feel enlivened. @One zpirit danzes within and you become the DANCE.

The Grateful Dead quote- sharing music and dance as ecstatic release and sacred rite.
