A place to move, practice, explore, and return to the intelligence of the body.
Dance Everyday Online is the subscription studio within Source and Motion, created by Brazilian interdisciplinary artist and choreographer Vanessa Agle Isaac.
The studio brings together contemporary movement, choreography, musicality, creative exploration, and embodied practice, drawing on decades of artistic research, teaching, and sustained investigation into the knowledge carried through the moving body.
Within this larger landscape, Samba remains an essential source: a living Afro-Brazilian cultural tradition whose intelligence is carried through rhythm, grounding, responsiveness, individuality, and relationship. Here, its movement knowledge enters into conversation with contemporary and Brazilian practices, conditioning, and ongoing exploration.
Evolving from Vanessa's original Samba Dance Academy, Dance Everyday Online carries those roots forward while opening them into a broader field of movement and inquiry.
The result is not simply a library of classes.
It is a practice.
An online space where movement, music, culture, and embodied knowledge meet.
✓ Movement Practice
Contemporary movement, Samba, Afro-Brazilian practices, choreography, conditioning, and exploratory studies offer different ways to train, investigate, and stay in conversation with the body.
✓ Master Classes & Guest Artists
Invited artists and teachers bring distinct movement histories, cultural traditions, and perspectives into the studio, including Luana Bandeira, Marcia Matos, Pablo Guerreiro, Kellyn Rosa, Cris Basimah, Sheila Aquino, Lisa Beck, Leida Tolentino, Kaita Mrazek, Cherri Clampett Borda, and others.
✓ Music & Listening
Seasonal selections and curated playlists invite deeper listening and expand the relationship between rhythm, music, and the moving body.
✓ Returning to the Source
Meditation, stillness, and embodied awareness create space to listen, reflect, and attend to what emerges before movement takes form.
✓ Culture & Inspiration
Selected writing, films, videos, reflections, and cultural references open connections between movement, music, history, place, and lived experience.
New practices, choreography, guest artists, and discoveries are added selectively throughout the year, keeping the studio alive and evolving while remaining intentionally curated.
