“My life long dance training and passion for the healing arts has been my teaching foundation. My private work and classes develop awareness to facilitate healing the body/mind continuum through insight, transformation and integration.”

I am an accomplished dancer, teacher and choreographer who ran my own company, Rita Rivera & Dancers in Santa Cruz California from 1983-1996. I was the founding member and artistic director of the Santa Cruz Dance Gallery from 1993-2000, the first independent dance performance center in Santa Cruz, California. 

My investigation into the healing arts is my life’s passion. I have travelled into the high Andean mountain passes and to the shores of Lake Titicaca visiting and sitting in ceremony at sacred sites and temples with extraordinary medicine men and women. My journey took me to the Medicine-less Hospital” in China, where miraculous healings occur using the ancient practice of Chigong.

I received certification in the Alexander Technique in 1993 and have taught dance and the principles of the Alexander Technique at Cabrillo College, University of California Santa Cruz, San Jose State University and Sonoma State. I traveled to and received certification (1996), in Chi-lel Chigong from Qinhuagdao China.
