Episode Summary:
In this episode, I dive in with Jennifer Aks-Neuman of Dance herStory on how each of us have a story that we can embody and express through movement. We chat about what it’s like to tap into and move the different emotions we’ve experienced in our journeys, when the shift happens that we begin to second guess expressing ourselves, celebrating our resiliency and what it was like creating my own movement story!
About Jennifer:
Jennifer Aks-Neuman grew up attending the Montclair, NJ performing arts schools where she studied various movement styles. She went on to receive her Associates Degree from Dean Jr. College and BFA from The Music and Performing Arts Professions at New York University with a dance major and education minor.
Jen performed and studied dance for many years, which led her to her role as Teaching Artist and Choreographer at National Dance Institute.
Through the years she discovered her mission to help find creative ways for Womxn to connect and honor their personal stories. As a professional photographer, she made it her mission to be an assistant to others in the storytelling process.
Today, Jen works with Womxn to create personal video movement stories. She uses video, editing & photography skills, along with her deep belief that if we trust our feminine intuition, it will guide us into our authentic movement. She believes that, if we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, the movement that comes forward will communicate our story and will have the power to transform. These documented stories are captured in a memento that one can reflect on forever.
Jen’s mission is to uplift and empower Womxn with 1 story at a time.
