Bianca Brzezinski

Dance

Bianca Brzezinski received her BA in Dance from Mills College, where she was awarded the Dance Innovator Award for choreographic excellence. Her passions include dance, improvisation, nature, and therapy. The art of being true to one's self and innate, personal nature are of crucial value in her work.

Bianca has been teaching improvisation, authentic movement, hip hop, and post modern dance in the Bay Area for the past two years. Her specialities include choreography, self inquiry, and expression through the performing arts. Bianca founded and directed Opal Street Dance Improvisation Theatre in 2010, devoted to movement and theater as a means of finding freedom and comfort in a loving and supportive community. Her goal is to empower individuals, raise body awareness, and allow for emotional and spiritual growth.

Using a holistic approach, Bianca takes a psycho-somatic approach to transform feelings and memories into positive ones so dancers can renew their sense of being and live life to the fullest. Using release as a technique, students develop a sense of being grounded in their bodies while maintaining a sense of freedom in their movement, self awareness, and self expression. When Bianca first started teaching, a student asked her why she wanted to be a teacher. She answered, "because I see myself through you."
