Move with creativity.
My name is Mariana Hilgert. I am a dance and movement teacher and performer with a Ph.D. in Translation and Dance.
My work is devoted to creativity.
And I know how frustrating it can be to feel stuck and unsure of how to [re]connect with one's own creative self.
With over 20 years of experience teaching dance and movement I've learned this: moving together is an effective and profound way to step out of resistance and fear into creativity and expression. Health, confidence and joy are inevitable collateral effects.
The Creative Body is how we do it here. A space to cultivate creativity through movement in community. So that you can feel empowered and confident in your body. So that you can dance whenever and wherever you want. So that you remember that in you, there is art too. No matter your age, background or physical conditions.
Mariana's approach is sensitive, playful and very much liberating - both for the body and the mind. I would recommend signing up for her classes if you want to feel connected to your body and to exercise in a non-competitive, thoughful yet joyful way.

What students say
Mariana’s teaching style is warm and attentive. She makes every effort to get to know her students, to understand what works for them and what doesn’t, and how she can better support their movement journey. Even through the Zoom screen, I felt that connection with her!

Mariana’s movement sessions are a gem you shouldn’t keep to yourself, but recommend to everyone around you. I especially appreciate three aspects of her training method: precision, gentleness, and playfulness.The morning movement classes work wonders for my (mental) health. They are liberating and inspiring—I can only highly recommend them!

I’ve found so much joy in moving together with Mariana. Her passion for movement and dance is contagious. I don’t consider myself a dancer, but through these sessions, I’ve learned more and more that dance is for everyone—and that you can find it in the smallest details. Thank you for these experiences!

Your classes made me feel the freedom to dance and move in ways that felt good for my body, mind, and heart, without worrying about how it looked. It made me dance the way I would if I would be alone in my living room, while at the same time creating very close connections with everyone else in the room. It was a really special feeling that I carried throughout the festival and also tried to carry into my everyday life once I returned home.
