Maybe you have a little trouble “getting it in” to your day or week, or you want to dance and explore with your movement more, but you just aren’t able to do it on your own.

Maybe when you practice on your own, or at your local studio; it lacks the focus, structure, guidance, or permission that is needed for a “good” freestyle experience. You’re looking for better ideas and strategies that help you find movement that feels more creative, more connected, and more authentic.

With the FYF Circle, you’ll be supported with classes every other week, so that your practice is consistent — but not overwhelming. You’ll also have access to a full library of videos if you want more. And twice a month, you can connect with your circle through “Freestyle Nights” and “Tea Time”, so you have moving and non-moving time outside of class to connect, get inspired, and feel support.

The FYF Circle is led by Tracee Kafer, the creator of FYF, who has a natural love of spontaneity, and a hunger for self-expression — and wants to share that world with you. She believes our bodies don’t just move, they ARE movement. She believes your free-moving practices can become a vehicle for any change or shift you seek… AND it’s fun, rewarding, and invigorating!

You know you like to move, and you go to movement classes, but maybe you feel like they are lacking depth… you’re looking for a more holistic way to look at your movement practice.

You might be here to explore new dimensions in your practice — because you realize that you and your creativity are multi-dimensional.

You’re looking for something deeper, richer, something that can meet you in the passion you have for your exploration time — whether you are new to it, or already mastering it.

Tracee Kafer, the creator FYF and the facilitator for the FYF Circle, has a decade of disciplined focus in improvisation and freestyle theory, as well as a lifetime of movement and dance experience in many capacities. She’s also trained and practicing in modalities of trauma-informed systemic healing, design, tarot and somatics. She might be the guide you are looking for to drop into a deeper and more curious space for your movement and the expression that lives in your body.

She believes that movement is way more than what your body does in space, more than the shapes and content you make, and maybe that’s why you are on this page.

When you resonate with a group of like-minds by gathering and moving together, you catapult yourself into your own growth and self-discovery, which is amplified in and by the whole group.

In the FYF Circle, you’ll feel held in a container where you belong, while also being celebrated as an individual with your own values, gifts, and interests. You receive ongoing permission and inspiration to keep exploring, keep being curious, keep listening to your deeper self.

And so, if you love freestyle, or are drawn to it, the FYF Circle can be a space where you can connect with other folks around the world just like you, but not like you at all.

A group like this is powerful.

“Freestyle Lifers” already love freestyle and/or they already practice it regularly in their own way (maybe they are even facilitating it in their own communities). They like the FYF community values and unique prompted guidance that comes from our live sessions.

They show up for the monthly Freestyle Nights to jam outside of class, and/or they come to the Tea Time to marinate on topics like prompts they are loving, how they are getting stuck, where they find inspiration, and what they are most curious about in their practice.

These folks are “hungry”, and their hunger serves and activates their movement and their life.

“Toe-Dippers” and “Movement Snackers” only need a little guidance and inspo, so they might only show up for live sessions when their practice needs a little more containment, support, or amplification.

They show up and dive deep into the topic, taking away what they need while leaving the rest. They are really good at finding the things they like and want to use, and they know when they’re “full”.

They often keep a journal to cook their own ideas and wisdoms that show up while they are practicing in our circle.

Actually, the live sessions really facilitate their personal “downloads”, rememberings, and relearnings.

They’ll spend the time in-between metabolizing that content in their own way… or they let it be. They trust they got the nourishment they needed.

They work at a variety of levels, this type of freestyler might be a beginner or might be a pro… as it’s ultimately their curiosity that is bringing them to this work - and they drive that curiosity in an independent way.

“Communty-Seekers” might come in two forms, either:

- They already have a home studio(s) they love, but they have a greater appetite for freestyle and movement than their studio(s) can provide. By being in the FYF Circle, they are able to get the added skills, mindset, and somatic enrichment they crave.

- Their studio is closed or they don’t have access to a movement community. They feel more or less “on their own” when it comes to movement training, and as a result, they find it can be hard to show up for their practice. In the FYF Circle, they’ve found a community of like-minded movers that they can move with virtually while they are at home. The community keeps them accountable to themselves and their practice, and they deeply value the connection and togetherness.

The “Collector” is a curious collector of experiences.

This group of movers are the shapeshifters, wanderers, seekers; they don’t tend to need or crave the community resource as much. Choosing to journey around a bit, they collect practices, teachers, and facilitators that they vibe with the most.

They love learning, and they love learning from as many people (and creative voices and styles) as they are inspired.

You might see them pop-up in many virtual spaces, or run into them somewhere around the world at a class, workshop, intensive, or retreat… they’re on the move.

They gather well all the tools and support they receive, alchemizing them into their practice as a soup of knowledge, wisdom and variety.

“Curious Wallflowers” are on the fringes, but make no mistake, they aren’t unfelt - they’re just not as active in the live participation as others in the group.

They might have multiple interests, a packed schedule, or are introverted… the FYF Circle is a place for them to orient, when they reach for it.

Even though they might be busy or to prefer to “keep to themselves”, they still receive what they need from the FYF Circle, just from a little farther away.

These are the folks who tend to use the recordings archive and on demand library features, but they are still very integrated into the group energy and are felt and held.

The FYF Circle Membership is a closed group, and doors open seasonally. You will be able to enroll beginning of 2023. Stay updated on when doors open and/or when free teaser classes are offered by joining the newsletter (located at bottom of this page).

Nope! Freestyle is a powerful method for creative self-expression and exploration regardless of the where and what. We mostly use the vehicle of movement, so that means, if you can move or want to move and you have a little space to do that, you are golden!

Also, these sessions could work well with other forms of creative expression; meditation, writing, card reading, drawing, even singing.

Freestylers come in many forms, and use any tools.

This is an open level membership, a space where beginners, hobbyists, advanced movers, seasoned pros, fellow facilitators and teachers work together harmoniously.

Whether you are comfortable with freestyle, getting comfortable, or uncomfortable these sessions meet you were you are, so come as you are.

You can trust that you will be met compassionately, and also, be pushed out of your comfort zone edges when you’re ready.

If our live session time doesn’t work for you, for whatever the reason, don’t worry - every live session will be recorded and archived for your future replay.

We meet every other Tuesday at 7:00 PM & 2:00 PM Eastern/NYC. Sessions are 75 minutes and held online via Zoom.

You’ll need a laptop with a camera, a speaker connected to your device, and a bit of space. You’ll get the most out of these sessions if you carve out the time and space to focus.

Privacy will facilitate a better experience, although household distractions do come up (pets! kids! delivery folks!), and that’s ok, too.

Once you become a FYF Circle Member, you can stream any On Demand session from two locations, in the Members Portal, and also on the On Demand page once you are logged into your account.

Your full upcoming schedule, including monthly community events, are in the Members Portal. You’ll also be emailed class/event reminders and Zoom links a few hours before a scheduled class/event.

Log into the Members Portal, you will see your active promo codes that you can use as much as you like! It goes without saying, though, please do not distribute these promo codes to non-members.
