For those seeking a deeper connection between body, mind and spirit, TranscenDance offers a path to transformation—through movement. More than just a dance class, it is a form of conscious movement therapy that blends the mindfulness of yoga with the liberation of free-form dance. TranscenDance is designed to help participants release stress, heal from unconscious pain and reconnect with themselves in a joyful, empowering way.

“TranscenDance is an invitation to release what you’ve outgrown—and step into the freedom you deserve,” says Benjamin Blackett, a certified TranscenDance facilitator and founder of A Creative Healing Place, in West Warwick, Rhode Island. “When you dance, you dissolve old stories and make space for something new.”

Developed by Jennifer Joy Jiménez, TranscenDance draws from spiritual psychology, somatics, personal development and energy healing. A typical class begins with breathwork, stretching and guided visualization, gradually evolving into expressive, self-directed, fun, free-flowing movement set to uplifting music. Unlike traditional dance or fitness programs, TranscenDance does not require choreography or prior experience. The focus is on embodiment, presence and freedom of expression.

“Your body is a compass, guiding you toward what feels true, alive, and whole,” explains Blackett. “TranscenDance helps you listen—beyond the mind, beyond the doubt—so you can come home to yourself.”

The practice is inclusive and adaptable. All ages, fitness levels and mobility ranges are welcome, including those recovering from injuries or navigating disabilities. Whether lying in bed, using a wheelchair or dancing on both feet, participants are invited to move in whatever way feels safe and intuitive. There are no right steps, only authentic movement inspired by the music and one’s inner rhythm.

TranscenDance classes are currently offered both in-person and virtually, making the modality accessible to individuals across the globe. With its focus on emotional release, embodied self-discovery and community support, TranscenDance is resonating with a growing number of people that are looking for something beyond the studio mirror or the fitness tracker. It is also a great modality to add to any spiritual retreat.

“Let your movement be your medicine,” Blackett adds. “And let it bring you home to yourself.”
