My mission is to awaken EVERY body’s wisdom and let movement become a soul’s expression 

As a Groove facilitator, I combine teaching and facilitation. I introduce simple movements and rhythms to create group unity, connection, and flow, while demonstrating them. My role also involves helping participants let go of fears or judgments about their bodies, dancing and encouraging them to tap into their creativity.

I use "Tools of Permission" to guide this process, setting myself free to lead by example. Through observation and being present with my participants, I fine-tune my intuitive teaching skills and offer supportive guidance to help everyone express themselves authentically.

It takes practice, so I’ll be approaching this with an open heart and mind. I’m here to guide others, and the training is designed to help you integrate and embody these skills. Thank you for joining me on this journey and stepping outside your comfort zone — I hope we all enjoy the process!  

What is Body Groove?

Body Groove is a dance-based movement practice that focuses on self-expression, joy, and intuitive movement rather than strict choreography. Founded by Misty Tripoli, it encourages people to move their bodies in ways that feel natural and freeing, rather than trying to follow specific dance steps.

The core philosophy is that everyone already knows how to dance, and the facilitator provides simple movement suggestions that participants can interpret in their own unique way. It’s designed for all fitness levels and can help with weight loss, stress relief, and overall well-being by promoting a deep mind-body connection through music and movement.

my body-story... 

I have always been aware of my body. Too aware.

Big, tall, curvy, full—words that felt more like judgments than descriptions. After 2012 I became "heavier" than before, just "different"... No more light and skinny, no more fitting in ANY dress. My moods would shift with the fit of a dress; a zipper not closing could ruin an entire day. I learned early that there was a right way to look, a better version of myself that I was supposed to be chasing. And no matter how I tried, I never quite arrived.

The world didn’t help. Partners, friends, even well-meaning family members—there was always a subtle suggestion. Maybe try this sport? Maybe cut back a little? You’d feel so much better if you just… The words were gentle, but the message was sharp: You should take up less space.

I resisted myself. Resisted the body that carried me, that connected me to the generations before me—the women who stood strong, who built homes, who were pillars in their family, who danced in celebration and in grief. The curves I tried to shrink were the curves of my ancestors, the same ones that made them powerful, resilient, breathtaking. And here I was, trying to erase them.

But then, I moved. Not to change. Not to shrink. Not to fit. I moved because my body wanted to. I let go of control, let go of the rules, and for the first time, I felt free. Not smaller. Not tighter. Just me.

That’s when I saw the lie. The lie that some bodies are more worthy than others. That beauty is a single, narrow path. That movement belongs only to the perfect.

The truth? Every body is meant to move. Every body is beautiful in its own rhythm, its own language. And the moment I stopped resisting myself, I finally saw what had been there all along.

I was never too much. I was never not enough.

I was always just right. You are too.
