Dancing into Fall – October 2025

Aloha dear dancers,

The seasons may shift gently here in Hawaii, yet Fall still brings its own special rhythm.

October is a month of movement between worlds—light into shadow, long days into longer nights, ripe harvests into playful celebrations. In class, we have the space to embrace these transitions with joy, music, imagination, and lots of dancing.

This month, let’s dance into the colors, scents, and magic of Fall, bringing both grounding and playfulness to the floor.

The Sensation of Smell:

Breathing in the Season

While Hawaii doesn’t burst into fiery reds and golds, we can still tap into the sensations

of Fall through smell:

The earthy scent of rain on the land.

Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves drifting from pumpkin pies, warm soups, and candles.

Fresh-cut flowers, incense, or garlands at parties and celebrations.

Smell awakens memory and draws us into the present moment. In dance, it becomes another portal to awareness. This October, invite yourself to smell the moment as you move through life.

Dancing with the Spirit of Halloween

October invites costumes, masks, and the freedom to be someone—or something—else. Halloween is pure FreeDance inspiration! Whether you step into the studio in bright orange, as a witch, a cat, a butterfly, or simply with a playful spirit, you’re already

embodying the season’s magic.

Bring a costume piece to class—perhaps a hat, scarf, mask, or cape—something you can move in. Try it on and notice how it inspires your dance. You might discover parts of yourself that don’t always come out in your daily groove, opening up new sensations and ways of moving.

An Invitation

This October, I invite you to:

• Dance into transformation—let your movement surprise you.
• Savor the sensation of smell—let breath and memory guide your body.
• Celebrate joy through costumes, music, and play—and let your dance of life become your art.

Let’s gather in community, in movement, in rhythm, and in joy. Together, we’ll make this Fall season unforgettable.

With love from me to you,
