MARCH 7-13, 2027  |  SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE

DANCER METHOD LIVE

become the dancer you’re meant to be.

A 7-day immersive retreat in San Miguel de Allende for women who want to understand their own dancing - not just for a week in Mexico, but for the rest of their dancing lives.

❋ Training You Take Home

Every session is a template, not just a workout. You'll leave with a personalized training map - the exact work to keep improving your dancing for years, not just the days you're here.

❋ Nourished, Body To Soul

This week feeds all of you. Clean, low-inflammatory meals and fresh juices for the body; massage, bodywork, and breathwork to release and restore; and quiet, restorative moments for the mind and spirit. You leave lighter than you arrived.

❋ Truly Personal

Just ten dancers, three 1:1 sessions each, and your own private osteopath session. This is coaching, not a crowd - you're seen, and your training is built around your body.

❋ One Continuous Journey

We begin before you arrive and reconnect after you leave - preparing virtually, working in the studio, then meeting again weeks later. Everything you discover here gets woven into how you actually live and dance.

Come home to yourself through movement, breath, and nourishment.

Day One

reset, recharge, Rise

You’ll be training like a dancer; neglected muscle groups, balance, mobility, body movement and guided improvisation. There's also bodywork, breathwork, rest, and space to let it all land.

Meet Your Instructors

dr. Sonali deepika

Dr. Sonali Deepika is Your Sensuality Doctor, a guide to understanding what is held deep in the body’s nervous system.  She is a lifelong learner who was led to leave a comfortable lifestyle in downtown Chicago working as a child psychiatrist in order to follow her body’s wisdom on a path of holistic healing.  This path traversed the exploration of her roots on the island of Sri Lanka and exploration of her sensuality in the jungles of Mexico.  She found the greatest journey to be that of truly coming home to the subtle sensations of her body as she began to embody her soul’s purpose.

The journey from head to heart and from pain to pleasure illuminated the deeper processes of the nervous system that far surpassed her Western medical education.  The work of Alchemical Alignment has been influential in supporting a process of  meeting safety and danger dynamics of any part of the lifetime/timeline and greatly expands the map of the stress response beyond fight/flight/freeze. 

tara cassone weinberg

Tara has been dancing since age three and her education spans across numerous dance styles. She began with ballet and jazz, then started competing in ballroom at age 9. She studied Modern, Choreography, & Dance History at Perpich Center for Arts Education and University of Minnesota. She started teaching Ballroom in 2012, and was professionally certified with high honors in 2016. Her career took an unexpected turn in 2019, when she found joy in movement in Cuba. Since then, she has been hosting dance retreats in Havana, and has recently become inspired to create a new experience: Dancer Method Live.

Because of her personal curiosity and growing knowledge about different types of training, nervous sytem regulation, lymphatic drainage, and nutrition, her goal with this retreat is to create a total reset that will give you tools to apply to your dancing and your life, far after your week together ends.
