Your Facilitator

    Hi, I’m Lisa Evans, founder and facilitator of Beach Dance.     Whatever it is that’s brought you here to this website, I’m so glad     you’re taking the time to have a look around. I’ve created an     extraordinary experience for people that combines music,     movement and nature and I would love to have you be a part of it.

    Ten years ago when I was first introduced to ecstatic dance, I     had no idea how it would change my life and impact the lives of     others. I’d always loved to dance, but had never taken any     lessons nor made it a habitual practice. The more I danced, the     better I felt and it soon became something I was whole-heartedly     interested in. Needless to say, it was pretty amazing to discover     something about myself that had been there all along, but had     never been fully explored.

I inspire people to move and be moved. As a facilitator, movement artist and writer, I am a passionate advocate for speaking the truth, finding true love, and living an authentic life. I envision a world where love of self, honesty and happiness are common daily experiences not once-in-awhile events. I believe creative self-expression, imagination and improvisation are key ways to tap into and let loose one’s own playful nature and spirit. I know that life is short and is exactly what you make it out to be.

As your facilitator, I provide the kind of guidance and support that’s encouraging, enthusiastic and entertaining. Before every dance, I help ease apprehensions and instill confidence by creating a space that’s welcoming and comfortable to all participants. From the time you register for an event until the dance has ended, I guarantee you will have a fun and memorable time. After brief instructions and introductions, every dance event begins and ends with an intention. Whether it be a poem, a quote or a few wise words from yours truly, I promise to provide you with a bit of sweet inspiration you can take into your dance and take with you after it concludes. Of course, the natural beauty that surrounds you, the variety of music that’s played and how you choose to move will also create your own unique dance experience.

I encourage you to call me if you have questions or if you need a little nudge of confidence to attend an event. While it’s fairly common to be a bit nervous, especially if you’re trying free-form dance for the first time, I can assure you that once we’ve had a chat you’ll feel more comfortable and will be excited about participating in an event. I will personally guarantee you will have such an amazing time that if you’re not completely satisfied with the experience, I’ll be more than happy to return your event fee.

I look forward to hearing from you and dancing with you soon!
