Alana grew up between Oahu and Chiang Mai Thailand, and has been dancing since childhood. She began more focused movement with hip hop, and Tahitian dance. Which morphed into ballroom, partner dancing, Bollywood, heels, and more hip hop. In the last few years she’s had a focus on Argentine tango, latin partner dances, and Bellydance. In her outside life she works primarily with women on connecting more deeply to themselves and their relationships to others. As well as exploring creative expression. Over the years Alana has developed a holistic philosophy around connection through movement, and loves to incorporate that in all that she teaches. As a Gemini Sun, Libra moon and Cancer rising … She carries a spiritual depth and playful energy. She’s sure to lift your spirits, and ground you in connection with yourself, your body, the earth, and community.
