JourneyDance with Deneen McQueen

JourneyDance with Deneen McQueen

July 9–September 3

Thursdays, 10:30–11:30 AM

*no classes on July 30 and August 20

Join us to move, breathe, stretch, and dance to get out of your head and into your body. This transformative movement practice invites you to reclaim your wildness. It is a soulful journey that leads you to greater freedom, joy, and self-discovery. It invites you to tap into your personal power and intuition, and will provide a supportive and sacred space for you to let go of inhibitions. We release judgment of ourselves and others.

JourneyDance ignites imagination through movement, music, and creative visualization. The neuroscience of collective joy tells us there is something deeply healing about women moving together—being witnessed and feeling safe enough to soften, play, stretch, dance, breathe, laugh, cry, or simply exist as we are. Your body knows how to create its own dopamine. Come let movement be your medicine.

Absolutely no dance experience is necessary, and these classes are suitable for all women, of all abilities.

Wear comfortable shoes and clothes.

The price of participation is on a $20–$40 sliding scale.

About Deneen

Deneen McQueen’s dance classes are a radiant playground—infused with laughter, liberation, and the electric freedom that comes from women moving together in community. She brings a tapestry of embodied and clinical wisdom to her offerings. Her master’s degree in applied psychology is the overlay on her advanced certifications in JourneyDance, embodied transformation, Reiki, integrative nutrition, soul entrainment, and sistership circles, alongside her fitness-instructor training and being a licensed teacher. As the founder of Whole Soul Wellness, she guides women to enliven their divine feminine through mind, body, and spirit practices. She wholeheartedly believes in the power of movement as medicine and is excited to be collaborating with the Stillpoint community.

Deneen has crafted magical spaces for women to rewild, reconnect to their inner spark, and rejoice here on the Island and beyond. She has offered Zumba classes and wellness workshops for almost two decades at the Chilmark Community Center and The Yard, and ignited countless private and charitable functions with her vibrant party style. Deneen has also been honored with leading JourneyDance at Omega Institute and Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. When not frolicking on her beloved Vineyard she loves to offer other transformative events, such as women’s circles, ecstatic dance, and silent discos on the beaches of the world.
