Our Mission
Open Floor International inspires people to move.
We teach dance and mindful movement for personal healing, professional growth, and community building. In a challenging world, Open Floor supports resilience, compassion, and joyous connection with others.
Open Floor Has Initiated a Global Conversation Around Universal Healing
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. We offer a movement practice that strengthens community, honors inclusion, and builds shared values.

Experience Our Vision
A world where conscious movement and dance ignites community, creativity, social justice, health and well-being.
Training The Next Generation To Lead Through Movement
Our training programs and educational resources empower people from a wide variety of professions to integrate embodiment, mindful movement and dance across disciplines, including health care, education, and the arts.
With over 250 next-generation movement leaders (and growing) from over 30 countries, Open Floor graduates are creating community, inspiring change, and making a difference in the well-being of others around the world.
