Congratulations Gigi

Congratulations to Gigi on teaching her first class at Soma Ranch! Welcome to the team!! She did a fabulous job, inspiring and guiding our Soma students with grace and expertise. The community, both near and far, rallied around Gigi, providing unwavering support, praise, and encouragement.

From local residents attending her class at Soma, to virtual participants from different corners of the world, joining in via Zoom, the outpouring of love and support was truly magical. This incredible display of community spirit, beautifully reinforces the inclusive and nurturing environment that Soma Ranch fosters. Lovely to witness dancers from all over displayed on the “wall of smiles” - via our cinematic projector that shines online participants LARGE on the side wall of the studio.

Gigi's successful debut is a testament to her dedication and the incredible impact she's already making, leaving us all eagerly awaiting her future classes. Gigi plans to be teaching 1-2 times a month at Soma Ranch.

Like many of us teachers can remember and empathize, Gigi shared how much more of a workout teaching a class is compared to taking. She did an incredible job with excellent preparation, grounded delivery, great focus that was sustained through the experience, she was “tight but loose” = provided excellent choreography, with her own flair and APPEARED to be super relaxed and full of joy.

Amazing class today @Gigi Greene !
You are such a beautiful mover.

Your movement flows with such gratefulness and ease.
If I did not know it was your first class at Soma,
I would have thought you were a regular teacher.
So well done! 🥰

A lovely sign of community, care and creativity…

Gigi brought home made sour dough bread for the participants with the promise “I’ll bring Gluten free for those who prefer it next week!”.

Regular participant Cathey exclaimed “She made us bread!”
