Mainly trained as a Middle Eastern dancer, she studied primarily with Audrey Stamm of FreeHouse Dance, in Canada. She has trained under a variety of other high-caliber instructors, including Suhaila Salimpour.
Other dance styles she has experienced include tap, African, ballroom, and country/western.
As you can see Molly's love for music and dance started very early in life
Somehow, it all came together to form a collage of styles, true to none, but respectful of all, and she dances for the sheer fun of moving to the life-blood of her soul, music.
This joy of music and dance is best enjoyed when shared, and it is her sincere hope that the community of Olympia will join her in the celebration of being alive.
It is with deep gratitude and honor that she dances to the inspired music of the talented drummers of this community, and gives a special heartfelt thank you to Michael for sharing his love of music with all of us.
Molly’s fitness journey began in earnest in her early teens, with weight-lifting and the ever-so-popular aerobic classes of the time.
By the time she was twenty, she was a dedicated fitness buff/gym rat, becoming a certified fitness instructor in her home province of Alberta.
Throughout her life she has enjoyed a variety of sports, including triathlon, surfing, rock-climbing, motocross, soccer, hiking, tap-dancing, tai chi, equestrian dressage, skiing, and gymnastics to name a few.
Molly invites all the drummers, of all styles and cultures in the community to come together and contribute their own unique rhythm to the creative flow of music and dance. It is also with open arms that everyone, regardless of dance training or background is invited to share in the fun. Let’s drum and dance!
A passion for mountain biking and yoga have formed an important part of her life for the past 15 years.
Having trained for body-building and sport-aerobic competitions fueled her passion for athletic performance and sports nutrition, giving her a deeper knowledge of sports performance through top-quality coaching and intense focus.
A registered massage therapist with nine years of experience, she is well-versed in the healing arts, with a knowledge of kinesiology, orthopedic assessment, injury recovery, sports therapy, aromatherapy, and Reiki.
Molly loves to share her knowledge and welcomes your questions about health, wellness, fitness, or the oh-so prevalent “when I do this (flex, extend, stretch, etc), my (ankle, knee, arm, shoulder, neck, finger, etc) does this (tweaks, twinges, tingles, burns, hurts, aches, feels weird) – what is it!”.
All of that also means you’ll be in good hands, being guided through a safe, fun warm-up and cool-down, and should you choose, being shown how to bust a move or two on the dance-floor!
