* reduce physical pain.

self, self-care and a deeper connection with their soul to be of service to others.
ABOUT DIANA- WHO: After dancing professionally in Canada and throughout the United States, Diana Turner-Forte began her teaching career at BalletMet Columbus, which evolved into numerous opportunities at Baltimore School for the Arts, as well as teaching in various Artists-in-Schools programs, private dance studios in the Midwest and Southeast, and operating her own own dance school, Choreographic Institute of North Carolina. A Reiki Master Practitioner, she says, “I am passionate about the sacrality of the human form and exploring ways to enhance wholeness and well-being through movement. Over time, in order to enhance my teaching skills and prepare for my current ‘calling’, I devoted additional years of study to the healing arts, kinesiology, somatic and proprioceptive techniques to support teachers and aspiring young dancers in pursuit of their goals in teaching and dancing. These practices are part of my current teaching activities, which include: embodied prayer practices, meditation, kinesthetic alignment techniques as needed, as well as Classical Ballet, Pilates
Mat, and Floor Barre.”
