Thank-you for sharing your wealth of wisdom, knowledge and kindness with us. I appreciate the gentle way you coax us into recognizing our vast potential for movement and thus deeper dimensions of who we are.

Thank you so much for such a great intensive, and for leading such a playful and open space:)
I found a lot of new imagery and insights in the way both you and Heather explain things, and found new ways to connect the things I’m curious about. I thought it was a great week of summer dancing!

Thank you Lesley and Heather again for the amazing week. I actually played around with the concept of elastics and leaving traces of myself behind during yesterday’s performance and had a lot of fun implementing those ideas. I’m looking forward to playing around with the other concepts/ tools you both have given me :)
