My name is Tzaphira (Allison) Stern
I am a dance activist and founder of Dance for a Change, an independent initiative that promotes the well-being of women in Jerusalem through dance improvisation classes and somatic movement therapy.
I am a graduate of the School of Visual Theater (2001) and have a bachelor's (2016) and master's degree (2019) from The Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance. I am also certified in Therapeutic Movement from Wingate Academic College (2021).
Through somatic dance and improvisation, I promote the potential for personal growth and mental transformation. I teach improvisation and somatic movement classes to marginalized communities, such as women in East Jerusalem and senior women, with the intention of empowerment. I also work individually with somatic movement therapy to better women's lives and foster personal transformation and well-being.
I hope to share my passion for Dance and movement with you through this website. Whether you are interested in taking a class, individual somatic therapy, or learning more about my research, I invite you to explore my site and reach out with any questions or comments.
