Katrina Thissen
Bio: Growing up overseas instilled a connection with world Music and dance as a natural expression. Expression of stories and emotion through Dance has always been a passion of Katrina’s life. Teaching young preschool children, dancing at home, and then falling in love with Contra dancing here in NC kept her dancing alive. Then tribal / belly dancing / ATS with a group of Women led by Rima S. Using the skills picked up along the way mixed with the desire to share the joy of dancing and connecting to spirit with movement. Katrina us led classes and flash mob dances (both at Asheville woman’s march finale and Wild Goose finale) that allow simple movements to express emotions, release traumas and simply allow the spirit to express and feel.
Katrina believes dancing and moving our bodies is a beautiful way to honoring and connecting our earthly vessels to The Hopy Spirit of God.
