Creator Spotlight: Becca Loevy has been teaching and performing dance professionally for over a decade. After traveling around the world learning about various cultural dances and ceremonies, Becca began to cultivate a somatic, improvisational language to help people of all ages feel comfortable moving, feeling silly, and making space for their fullest expressions to shine. Since joining Smokebrush as an artist 3 years ago, she has helped put together classes, farm-to-tables, and gatherings to help people connect to their bodies and to the land. She's inspired to continue to create containers that help foster this land/body connection via her experience as a dancer, mindfulness practitioner, massage therapist, and farmer.
