Dancer. Writer. Leadership Coach. Unleashing wonder from the wisdom of your body. When I’m mad I wail + write OpEds and books.

If you dare to listen to, our bodies are wailing…with delight, discoveries, sobs and screams. I just finished my manuscript, Stories from My Dancing Body, a collection of essays, which provides a look at what dancers have discovered about the mysteries that lie within. Looking for an agent!

My Creamy Puppie, NeeLaLa, is giving me space today. I get sad after watching the news. Dancing Helps! The world needs our help, but sustaining energy takes self care - dance a crazy dance, play a soulful tune, sit with a tree, bore a friend! Follow Witchy Dancing on Instagram and Facebook!

Fred Astaire would say dancing with a door is sublime. I say a door is a perfect partner as it swings right and left and hovers in the center. Don't we all need to practice a bit of that? Follow me on instagram and Facebook. Little Witchy Dancing gifts each day.

I’ve always resisted social media…so anti-body. I needed to find a path emanating from the body. So I returned to my mother-tongue-choreography. Checkout The Witchy Dancing Series in instagram (Jan.erkert) and Facebook. I would love to hear from writers- how do you connect to your readers?

I agree. I was a fellow in their Public Voices Fellow program, learned to write OpEds and am now leading an OpEd Alumni Project at University of Illinois. The OpEd Project is amazing!
