Resource the Self
Revive the
World

Join a global community where all are invited to experience mindful movement, self-discovery, and the healing power of dance.

Our World Needs Healing
It Starts With You

Our world is in a state of disconnect. Privilege, inequality, and growing polarization around fundamental values are splitting our societies and favoring division over inclusion. Our mission is to initiate a global conversation on the power and place for mindful movement and dance to affect social, emotional, physical, and planetary health.

We've Changed Lives in Over 30 Countries (and counting)

Open Floor Teachers are community-builders. Through our open source curriculum, we’ve trained hundreds of teachers on how to use mindful movement and dance in schools, workplaces, and community settings to affect positive change.

But we’ve only reached a fraction of the people who need these life-changing resources most. We have more work to do and we need your help to do it.

Will you join the movement?

We Train the Next Generation to Lead Through Movement

Open Floor is Open Source. The curriculum is ever-expanding and available to all. Through our foundational and advanced training programs, we empower teachers across a wide variety of professions and backgrounds to use this work to change the lives of others in their communities.
