Lucie Baker is a dance artist, and expressive arts facilitator based in Seattle, Washington. She began studying dance from a young age and her curiosity for movement led her to pursue a career as a professional performer and choreographer in New York City and abroad. In her training, she earned a BFA from the Juilliard School and an MFA from the University of Washington. After a decade of performing, creating, and teaching, she became interested in the intersection of dance and mental health and received her expressive arts therapy training at the Tamalpa Institute, founded by Anna and Daria Halprin. Her classes integrate her background in western concert dance and social dance with her love of somatics and anatomy. She now continues to develop her artistic practice along side offering Expressive Arts classes for diverse populations.

"I love when I see a person discover something new about themselves during an embodied experience. The body holds our life story, and through movement and dance we can access knowledge that is hidden from our conscious mind. It is so exciting to watch as someone finds a truth about themselves that liberates them. They expand and radiate." |
