Conscious movement & Somatic Arts
Integral Dance is a holistic dance practice that embraces the whole person—body, heart, mind, and spirit. Each session is a journey that begins with embodied ritual, weaving intention and heart-centered gesture into movement. From there, we ground in core essentials: healthy alignment, core strength, spinal fluidity, focused breath, and deep somatic awareness.
On the dance floor, we cultivate gratitude and humility, moving like water and exploring both subtlety and intensity. The practice emphasizes continuous movement to access deeper layers of physicality, creativity, and emotional release. Dance sequences flow seamlessly into guided improvisation and freestyle, inviting each dancer to discover new pathways of expression and consciousness.
Inspired by world dance traditions, contemporary dance, and the natural cycles of circles and spirals, Integral Dance offers a dynamic balance of structure and freedom. Open to all levels and abilities, with modifications always welcomed, this practice is an invitation to awaken vitality, release stagnant energy, and embody wholeness.

Miriam Peretz is an internationally celebrated dancer devoted to creating transformational experiences for her students and audiences worldwide. Miriam’s signature style draws heavily on Central Asian dance, devotional whirling practices, and sacred dance rituals from around the world. Her movement quality and aesthetics also incorporate her years of martial arts training, contemporary dance, Flamenco, and many other world dance forms.
Miriam weaves movement and ritual together to create safe, communal spaces for healing and empowered embodiment. She was named prophetically by her mother, who saw in her infant daughter the potential to become a powerful spiritual leader like her biblical namesake, Miriam who led the Israelites through the Red Sea with drum and dance.
Miriam sees dance as a uniquely powerful means of expressing deep emotion and spiritual yearning, and therefore the perfect embodiment of prayer.
““Miriam’s dance classes transcend technique and choreography; they compel the dancer to become a poet, a conduit of creative intention, a vessel for music. I always leave class with ruminations on transcendence, with heightened presence, and with the sensation that I participated in something beautiful.” ”

Presented by Miriam Peretz
Dear Community,
I am deeply grateful to connect with you through the transformative virtue of humility. Humility is at the core of my spiritual practice, and I believe at the heart of all spiritual practice. After gratitude it is the next step on our journey through the seven gates of the soul trait series.
When we embrace humility we flow like a river, fluid and constant, never getting stuck in life’s many obstacles and surprises. When we are humble we are able to connect more deeply and authentically to ourselves and to one another through knowing our divine gifts, as well as recognizing and lovingly accepting our imperfections.
Please receive the gift of Humility by downloading the free ebook pdf link below! We will continue next month with generosity. The teachings of the Seven Soul Traits are woven into the annual Warrior Women Winter Solstice immersion which is coming up in just two weeks in Berkeley, California. Learn more about this offering and register HERE. For questions please feel free to reach out HERE.
with love, Miriam
