TESTIMONIALS

“A transformative experience which was exactly what I was looking for.
This experience is not just for anyone, while still being for everyone. Najla, the guest mentors, and the other participants created a safe and welcoming space for us all. It was a beautiful couple of days that left us all refreshed and raw.
Thank you (F)rom (T)he (S)oil”

Isoke | FTS Intensive NYC


“The FTS Movement Intensive is one of the most profoundly healing and validating dance experiences I have ever had. I loved the atmosphere that was created by Najla and all of the instructors, and the unique blend of offerings created a cohesive and deeply connected learning experience for me, from start to finish. I feel so grateful to have found this work, and I can't wait to come back for more".
