Healing Through Dance & Cultural Diversity: Jaymie Orozco Howard – Into Healing S1, Ep.14

Into Healing with Mira Kaddoura

Jaymie Orozco Howard is the founder of Danzversity, a studio she proudly touts as “a place to dance and express, not impress.” It is energizing to hear how Jaymie weaves together her Mexican family’s rooted legacy and love for dance with culture, connection, social diversity, biodiversity, global perspectives, and everything in between. Jaymie wants nothing more than to get everyone dancing and feeling the healing powers of movement. One of her favorite sayings — “If you have a body, you can dance” — is a serious reminder that maybe what we need more than anything is to shake what our mamas gave us.
