FTS Movement Intensive— 3rd Anniversary Celebration!
Join us for the FTS Movement Intensive, a sacred 4-day journey to honor our 3rd Anniversary. This immersive experience is designed for intermediate and advanced dancers who seek to deepen their connection to the art of movement and elevate their personal practice.
Led by our world-renowned faculty, you’ll explore the power of dance, martial arts, sound healing, fine arts, and music education. Through this blend of ancestral wisdom and creative exploration, you will strengthen your body, mind, and soul while unlocking your true artistic potential.

“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".
