WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT MOVEMENT CLASSES and WORKSHOPS
"You know it's a dance when Harmony shows up."
-Dan Zemelman; Jazz composer, musician & Ecstatic Dance organizer; San Rafael CA
Feedback from my Ecstatic Dance Classes:
You bridge a gap that creates a feeling of oneness. You close the gap of separateness that I feel between myself and another. I surrender and feel safe and more comfortable to pass that gift on to others. I want to share that with everyone. I have been afraid of being close to people in the physical. I feel connected in Spiritually, mentally and physically with others. You have helped me bring that feeling of connection and oneness into the body and into life. You bridge the gap of separateness to oneness through touch. -Leah Joy
I have learned to ground during dance and movement. Before I would ‘ground’ through my imagination by sending roots into the earth and feeling solid. But I didn’t realize that I'd not grounded kinesthetically. But the most powerful experience I have taken away from my sessions with you is learning to connect with others while remaining connected to myself. I have always equated connecting and loving with merging with another. I thought I had to give myself up in order to connect with and love another. But this would always result in me recoiling, resenting, and becoming cold to others. Through my work with you, I have found the balance of being contained within myself while remaining open with others. I am learning to feel myself through the connection with others; to ground through other people rather than get lost in them. -Patrick Numair-
I most certainly got everything that I hoped for in Harmony’s class – practice on how to connect with others on the dance floor, while being conscious of my connection with myself, more consciousness in general in particular when moving, new ways to move, greater self-acceptance of myself and my body, fun, laughter, and a chance to meet people. I am so glad I met Harmony and have gotten to know her better. I would like to keep her in my life, and I know I’ll see her on the dance floor. Please keep me on your email list.
(Also, thank you for what you’ve taught F. about hugging and physical affection. The other day when I said I liked the way his hands felt on me he said “Harmony taught me a lot about that”.)

Feedback from participants of a land and water Contact Improv Workshop
My contribution to longer, ’Brilliant Contact’ workshop held at Harbin Hot Springs, CA
I thought your intro to the land contact improv was great. I'm a feeler and flower and enjoy being guided
through movement. You have a natural gift for it. Itis good to see you in your power. Then the water part was even more amazing. Especially
when we got to take our clothes off. You had absolutely no hesitation about that which was great. It made allthat easier to flow into it.
–Patrick Pigeonhawk-
Both the land and water contact dance experiences you led us through were perhaps the deepest experiences of the whole weekend for me. I loved having the opportunity to go to places I had never been before. I loved such an immersion in fluid space.
As for the land contact, I liked the slower pace at the beginning with introductory moves, but most enjoyed, by far, the fluid, freely flowing group space when we had blindfolds on. I was ready for that space even sooner. I found your specific suggestions, like us moving more from our torsos and less with our hands, very helpful.
By the time we entered in the water, I already felt so fluid and melty.
I just wanted to Move, Move, Move and let the magic happen. Again, I found your feedback and suggestions during our free water movement very helpful and expanding.
Both on land and at sea, I appreciated how you were closely watching us and noticing what was going on. For me, your capacity to watch closely is one of your strengths as a teacher.

Feedback From various Contact Improv classes / workshops:
You embody what you teach.

I was in body bliss at the end of your class.
-Rainah Waters- Yoga Instructor & Massage Therapist, dancer
I want to tell you how very happy it made me to be on the receiving end of someone so obviously doing what she was meant to. It's a real pleasure to feel you there. ps: I know the other guys each have their own version of good feelings about last night.
-Art Busse- Architect, Dancer
Thought you were wonderfully patient with this novice Contact Improvisationer. I know I can do it if I just "keep doin it."
-Geoffrey Bruce-
I'm very grateful for our connection and for the inspiration that you are. The words/energy in 'Contact' only hint at who you really are and at how much you give...
You are a blessing! You are a gifted teacher (being a great dancer goes without saying). Your understanding and ability to isolate a particular movement (or lack thereof) and communicate it clearly are a blessing. -
-D Dilks-
You are a great contact teacher and I hope you do some classes again that I can make it to..
