MOTIONAL LITERACY
Motional Literacy group session at ARD’s 2025 Gala.
what is motional literacy?
Motional Literacy is ARD's unique movement and wellness workshop that supports personal and professional development. Learn new tools to access vulnerability and implement empowerment techniques, whether at work or in your daily routine. Our proprietary approach allows people of all ages and experiences to express themselves through movement.
Workshops take participants through an active movement-based meditation offering movement exercises to support Motional Literacy program tenets. By engaging in a series of creative movement exercises individually and in groups, this workshop offers techniques to help work through stressors, physical pain, and emotional dysregulation. Participants will walk away from this workshop with tools to help them embody vulnerability in a way that works for them and their personal and professional environment.
Motional Literacy has built a new community of movers who aren't necessarily in search of a path towards professional dancing, but one that offers a safe space to express themselves through movement, organize the body and mind, and discover the emotional benefits of dance.

“This workshop was excellent. It went beyond just getting people to move around – it included lessons on working together and building trust with your teammates. I would give this 6 stars out of 5.
