Teaching & Community Engagement

Maria Bauman has studied with master teacher Anne Green Gilbert (Brain Compatible Dance Education) and has vast experiences teaching all ages around the country. Her approach to community engagement is heavily influenced by years of relationship with Jawole Zollar & Urban Bush Women. Now, Maria works within multiple settings offering movement as a way to “sweat your own truth.”
