Becca Loevy Dancer, Massage Therapist

Becca Loevy has been teaching and performing dance professionally for over a decade. After traveling around the world learning about various cultural dances and ceremonies, Becca began to cultivate a somatic improvisational language to help people of all ages feel comfortable moving, feeling silly, and making space for their fullest expressions to shine. Since joining Smokebrush as an artist 3 years ago, she has helped put together classes, farm-to-tables, and gatherings to help people connect to their bodies and to the land. She’s inspired to continue to create containers that help foster this land/body connection via her experience as a dancer, mindfulness practitioner, massage therapist, and farmer. This blend of pathways, alongside the inspiration of Smokebrush and all the people involved in this special organization, has been the seed that has brought about the birthing and creating of this movement retreat.
