ABOUT RISE MVMT STUDIO
Rise Mvmt Studio was founded and created in May of 2022 by a passionate business owner, Jessenya Akerman, who always used dance as a healing tool to overcome difficult tragedies. A couple of her most devastating moments in her life such as the recent passing of her husband in 2021 and the terminal illness her mother has lived with for more than 13 years and counting, made her realize that her unique approach of dancing was truly a key in her healing process resulting in overcoming these major life changing events.
She used 3 basic elements for her healing process: the basic movement of dance, listening to music that inspired her to move her body to release those heavy emotions and by adding light therapy. Using colored lighting and even dancing in the dark with just a few candles enhanced her connectivity of movement with her inner struggles. The focus was always internal and the reward was peace. The more she repeated this process, the lighter she felt.
Continuing throughout her journey, opening a dance studio just felt like the right step to keep moving forward in her revivification. Rise Mvmt Studio was then created to help others overcome minor or major difficulties in life just like she did in her holistic way to heal. That is Jessenya’s ultimate goal – to simply help others.
Rise Mvmt Studio is for anyone willing to take a chance to just let go and float along with the music to cast off any stress. Who cares if you cannot dance? Dance and move to feel good, not to just look good. As they say, “Dance like nobody’s watching.” And as we say at our dimmed studio, Dance like nobody’s watching, literally.
“Everyone has a purpose in life, a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.”
– Deepak Chopra
