Thrive in Motion

Four weeks of movement, reflection & connection 💚

Our 4-week wellness series in partnership with Live Well Watertown has come to an end. What a wonderful few weeks it has been!

From dancing and moving together to connecting, laughing, and making space for ourselves, this series was about more than just exercise.

We also asked participants to share their highlight from the series, and their words say it best. 💬✨

Thank you to everyone who showed up, moved with us, and helped make this series so special. And a big thank you to Live Well Watertown for making this partnership possible!

💃🏽 Ready to keep dancing with us?

Our next wellness series is coming to the Watertown Free Public Library this September! ✨

You can find us on the Watertown Free Public Library calendar and stay tuned for more details about the upcoming series.

Join us and let’s keep dancing together!

Move Your Body. Challenge Your Brain 🧠

I don’t usually share articles, but this one really spoke to me and to the work I do through Thrive in Motion.

I especially loved the explanation of why learning choreography is good for our brains. When we learn a new sequence, we’re not just moving. We’re remembering, coordinating, listening, adapting, and learning something new.

That’s a big part of why I create choreography for the songs we dance to in my classes. It’s an opportunity to move our bodies and engage our minds.

I’ll be sharing more research and information like this if it continues to resonate with you!

The connections between a regular dance practice and cognitive health are just now being understood

✨ A little behind-the-scenes from the Watertown Arts Market!

I was so happy to be among the many talented artists, creatives, and local business owners interviewed by Watertown Cable News during this wonderful community event. 🎥

There’s so much creativity and talent in our local community, so I’m sharing the full clip to celebrate everyone who was part of it.

And if you make it all the way to the end… you’ll find a little Thrive in Motion moment! 💃🏽😉 Because, of course, we had to get the reporter dancing too!

Thank you to everyone who helped make the Watertown Arts Market such a special day. It was wonderful to be part of it!

Over 100 artists, makers, musicians and food vendors gathered at Ar...

Our Midday Stretch & Mobility Series has started!

This weekly 30-minute virtual class is a simple way to step away from your desk, move your body, and give yourself a little space in the middle of the day.

The series is especially designed for people who work from home, sit for long periods of time, or simply want to release tension and take better care of their mobility.

As we continue, we’ll explore different types of stretches and movements to support:
🧘🏽‍♀️ Releasing everyday tension
🤸🏽‍♀️ Mobility and flexibility
🪑 Posture and body awareness
🌿 Feeling more comfortable in your body throughout the day

📅 Thursdays | 12:00–12:30 PM
💻 Virtual | $10 per class

If you’ve been meaning to make more time for stretching, this is a great place to start.
Don’t miss a chance to stretch with us!

🎨 What an amazing day at the Watertown Arts Market!

We are so grateful to have been part of this wonderful community event and to have had the opportunity to connect with so many people through movement, conversation, and a little dancing!

Throughout the day, we met local artists and vendors, welcomed community members to our booth, shared more about Thrive in Motion, and of course… got people moving! 💃🏽✨

One of the highlights was being interviewed by Watertown Cable News, giving us the chance to talk about our work and why creating accessible opportunities for movement, wellness, and connection in our communities matters so much to us.

Events like this remind us how powerful community can be. We loved meeting new people, reconnecting with familiar faces, supporting local artists and small businesses, and sharing what Thrive in Motion is all about.

Thank you to everyone who came by and spent a few minutes with us. We hope you enjoyed the dancing as much as we did! 💛

Here are a few moments from the day. 📸
