Dance By Jemilah - Dance to Live

Dance ; Educational ; History/Heritage ; Kids & Families

Dance to Live is a concept created by Jemilah Jones for all communities specifically adults to experience the joy of dance. As a dancer and educator for over 25 years, Jemilah noticed the positive effect dance had on individuals who participated in her classes, workshops, and performances. From complicated dancing to free-form dance participants always left their experience happy and full of joy. The joy that dancers feel is a natural rush of Dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter produced by a small region of the brain that helps you feel pleasure. The brain releases dopamine when you do things that feel good or pleasurable or when you complete a task. Giving our community a place to just dance without any judgment once a month to relieve stress and maybe just maybe, become a healthier community physically, mentally, and socially through dance and movement.
