Come dance with us at Kalani, amidst tropical birdsong and nature’s beauty. Let the magic of Aloha and the power of earth-based rhythms seep into your bones in this weeklong dance experience with Lara McIntosh.
Each day will feature an intensive, three-hour morning dance class, exploring deep visceral and energetic movement studies. The sound scores are derived from Lara’s extensive library of African and World Music. There will also be options for small group or individual instruction with Lara afternoons and evenings.

About the Facilitator(s)
Instructor Lara McIntosh is a dancer, choreographer and performance artist. She is the originator of Wassa Dance and Positive Sweat, both blend her own unique dance and teaching style. Sourcing broadly from dance traditions including African, Brazilian, Orisha, Ballet and various contemporary modern techniques, Lara has been teaching her own blend of these dances since 1991. Her studies in Mali, Africa bring new music and authentic skills to the eclectic mix. Wassa is the Bambara name given to Lara, and translates loosely as “one who acts for joy and fulfillment.”
She conducts workshops and retreats both nationally and internationally, as well as in local school residencies. Lara is a former board of directors member for the Seattle World Percussion Society, a long time collaborator with the Thread Dance Improv Group and various public art projects.
