Leap of Joy Dance Collaboration

This fall, we’re excited to welcome Leap of Joy, a beloved local nonprofit, for a special collaboration centered on the power of dance to support health, creativity, and community.

Community collaboration is a new initiative at Shakti Yoga & Holistic Wellness, created as a way to give back and uplift small organizations with big hearts that share our commitment to making the world a better place through joyful movement.

Leap of Joy brings creative movement to young people in Austin public schools, where access to arts and enrichment programs is often limited or unavailable. Their classes are typically offered after school at no cost to the children who participate. Funds raised through classes at Shakti Yoga will support program development and staffing.

Register here for your class with dancer-choreographer Kayur Patel and Leap of Joy.

Kayur Patel is a community artist based in Austin, Texas, with a focus on poetry, dance, theatre, and storytelling. He recently performed with ACC Dance at the Texas Dance Improv Festival and the American College Dance Association. He also performs at Ground Floor Theater for Dance Carousel. Kayur works as a teaching artist with Paramount Theatre, Austin Bat Cave, and Leap of Joy. In addition, he has led workshops on trauma healing through the arts at Georgetown Palace Theatre and Georgetown Art Center. As a performer and choreographer, he has collaborated with artist communities, and he was selected as a featured artist at Austin Community College for his work exploring trauma and racial healing through art.
