Hailing from Southern California, Marnita has spent over 20 years immersed in dance as a performer, choreographer, and teacher trained in movement from the African Diaspora (i.e. West African, Brazilian, Haitian, Hip hop, House) and Modern dance. She blends rhythmic movement with emotional well-being, creating a supportive space where folx can play, honor themselves,and reconnect with their bodies. Marnita\u2019s classes invite you to reclaim your power, express yourself freely, and define what true joy feels like on your own terms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
