WHAT IS THE LIQUID MOTION® MOVEMENT PROJECT?
Sometimes we need to look deep within ourselves and what we find is that we need to do better.
The dance industry has always favored a certain aesthetic and deemed it the gold standard of what is considered success in dance. However, Liquid Motion® has seen this as a limiting lens from which we celebrate individuals in this art form. Success in dance is achievable by all body types when trained properly. Instructors must make a commitment to understand how to teach different bodies.
Liquid Motion® has always done this from the very beginning … however we realize that our commercial branding and educational imagery sometimes did not reflect these truths in our beliefs and how we approach our movement methodology.
In October of 2023 we started a project to update our training and marketing materials to support these ideas and beliefs. However, how we wanted to change the industry was still a question. With such ambitious goals comes very challenging and uncomfortable conversations- but they were had and are still ongoing. Now we are here and we are launching the Liquid Motion® Movement Project.
The Liquid Motion® Movement Project is a campaign to not just celebrate diversity in dance and dance instruction, but show that this diversity can also be the gold standard. This project will educate not just students but focus on educating teachers to help them reach this goal. From this, the Liquid Motion® Movement Project was born.
This is Step One. Over the next year you will see a new portal on our website, blogs, educational material, business listings that share our views, and so much more.
TODAY IT STARTS WITH YOU.
