the ac experience

learn to dance from the inside out

what is the ac experience?

Do you want to go beyond learning choreography to transforming how you feel about and experience dance?

 

The AC Experience is about learning to dance beyond the steps. We combine technique with alignment of body, mind and spirit to ignite a connection with dance beyond just counts of music.

 

If you are open to learning, connecting with yourself, and up for a personal challenge, you will find this a safe space to be seen, heard and inspired.  We offer group workshops, master classes, private UPlevel sessions and video feedback to students of all ages and experience levels.

Ashlee and Cary have been friends since 2000, when they first met in Los Angeles dancing with Myo, a contemporary ballet company directed by Josie Walsh.  Years later they found themselves dancing again but this time with more questions around “what makes dance great”.  They began exploring what keeps an audience mesmerized by a specific dancer, whether on stage or in class.  The true draw was the dancer’s own personal story, emotions, and commitment that was embodied in the choreography and projected into the room, not just the technique and steps themselves.  Ashlee and Cary realized they could bring their holistic philosophy and professional expertise to dancers willing to tap into this deeper connection - no matter their level, ability or age.  And thus began The AC Experience: learning to dance from the inside out.
