Dance. Create. Connect.
Madre Project is an inclusive community dance space for adults of all movement backgrounds to reconnect with their creative energy. Blending performance, collaboration, and education, the project celebrates the body as a source of discovery and artistry. Through accessible classes and creative labs, participants explore movement while strengthening their connection to the form and to each other.
Now a community of nearly 70 members, Madre Project offers weekly contemporary classes open to the public and a newly launched company for adults returning to performance. On December 13th, 2025 Madre Project performed for the first time to a sold out crowd at Gibney: Agnes Varis Performing Arts Center.
Your support will help cover production needs and fuel future initiatives such as artist salons, studio rentals, retreats, and somatic workshops.

Intermediate Contemporary
This class is a space for adults who want to move with curiosity, joy, and presence. We begin with a gentle somatic approach—tuning into breath, sensation, and alignment—to ground ourselves and awaken the body. From there, we move into phrase work that builds progressively, serving as a foundation for alignment, weight shifts, and spatial awareness. It’s a supportive space where you can deepen your technique, explore expression, and reconnect with the pleasure of moving. Whether you're returning to dance or continuing your journey, you're welcome here.

This somatic workshop is open to seasoned movers and dancers as well as TRUE beginners. In the session, Andrea will guide participants through a gentle yet expansive movement practice rooted in somatic awareness, breath, and sensation—designed to restore mobility, release tension, and deepen connection to the body. The workshop emphasizes listening, curiosity, and embodiment, offering tools that support both artistic expression and everyday well-being.
This session is limited to 10 participants to allow for individualized support and hands-on guidance.
