"Creative-expression is an empowering vehicle for all ages, bodies, and abilities--- not exclusive to artists."
Movement & More is a diverse community of curious individuals exploring creativity and empowerment through movement.
Founder, Halle Katz, leads with a playful yet purposeful approach when it comes to sparking creative-wellness. Inspired by her own relationship to dance, Halle models the ways in which embodied movement can serve as an accessible and adaptable tool in healing, nourishing, and fueling our lives.
--------
In the dance space, Halle’s early hip hop and musical theater influences generated a passion for performance and artistry; that journey has since formed a holistic fusion of movement through contemporary, West African, Latin, Dance-Movement Therapy, strength training... as well as her ever-growing love for freestyle and improvisation.
Additionally, Halle's work is deeply rooted in expanding compassion-consciousness and re-imagining current paradigms in counseling, pathology, and self-development. In her current professional role, Halle supports Boston's historically marginalized communities. At the intersection of social justice, educational equity, and social-emotional mentorship, her day-to-day work focuses on resourcefulness, habit-building, self-advocacy, leadership, and academic self-actualization for middle and high school students.
