dance and meditation to help people
deal with stress, dis-ease, physical/emotional
and spiritual self development. The
teaching promotes optimum human performance,
possibility and well being. “THE

all cultures, generations, classes,
spiritual/religious affiliations,
body types and shapes. It is inclusive
of everyone from the disabled to
professional dancers and athletes
who have been accepted into Alvin

and practiced at Lack’s studio  in
Los Angeles and in Malaysia, Europe,

profound pathways into healing, creativity
and spirit. She “lives” her
belief daily. |
