A SPACE TO explore & Express who you are
through movement
ENROLLMENT IS OPEN
Less than $33/mo with new Yearly Membership
An intimate online community of free movers and movement explorers who want to express who they are and dance with what is emerging in their body and life — both known and unknown. The intention for this group is to engage practices that build unwavering presence, self-trust, curiosity and creative resiliency that transcends the cycles of skills, age, aesthetics, and achievement.
We are a circle of movement explorers, freestylers, self-discovery seekers, dancers, body-centered practitioners, and non-conforming round pegs who value awareness, curiosity, collaboration, and expression.

Video Testimonial: Kayla
“It has completely transformed and redefined my relationship with my movement, with my body, and even spirituality.”
Hear from FYF Circle Member, Kayla on her experience the last three months in the FYF Circle.

-
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. 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.
-
You might be here to explore new dimensions in your practice — because you realize that you and your creativity are multi-dimensional.
Tracee has over a decade of disciplined focus in improvisation and freestyle theory, as well as a lifetime of movement and dance experience in many capacities, but she’s also trained and practicing systemic healing, tarot and therapeutic somatics. She might be the guide you are looking for to drop into a deeper and more curious space for the expression that lives in your body.
-
When you resonate with a group of like-minds that move together, your journey is amplified in and by the whole group.
Each of you is an individual with your own values, gifts, and interests, and sharing space where you can connect with other folks around the world like you, but not like you at all, is powerful.
The Schedule
Session with Tracee Kafer happen on alternating Tuesdays at 2:00 PM & 7:00 PM Eastern/NYC (11:00 AM Pacific / 8:00 PM CEST and 4:00 PM Pacific)
Special Workshops & Community Events Time/Dates Vary (often on Tuesdays and weekends)
A Note from Tracee:
It would be impossible to say exactly how this membership might change or help you, but what I do see/feel from the folks who show up for this membership and it’s offerings:They may come to class pretty stressed out and tired, feeling jittery, overwhelmed, heavy or somber. After 75 minutes spent in this container, with permission to drop-in, move their bones and listen with their senses, they leave changed. They are more plugged-in to themselves.
My suggestion is, if you are drawn to this membership, take the journey and come dance and move with us for awhile. See and notice what happens next after you commit to showing up. Chances are decently high that things will be different, that you’ll feel benefits that I won’t be able to label easily. It’s kind of limitless what exploring in the body can offer you, your relationship it and to your life.
I do know that as you begin to integrate these creative practices for exploration, dance, and self-inquiry... you’ll discover how these tools can enhance your state of being.
“Tracee has helped me grow and explore in so many ways, beyond just my freestyle practice. I cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Class with Tracee was absolutely what I needed! I was able to take time to slow down for myself and open up to the music.”

“Considering strengthening your relationship with freestyle movement? Look no further than a FYF membership.””
“Tracee creates opportunities for movement to be explored through all the senses. In her classes, there is a feeling of joy and liberation as she encourages us to be guided by our own inner compasses and not externals. Tracee forges a safe and nurturing community for each of us to claim our authentic forms of freestyle. All ages and bodies benefit from her creative classes and caring mentorship.”
