One of the most amazing aspects of the human body is its ability to heal itself. But sometimes it needs your help.
There are 30-40 trillion cells in the human body, and every second that we're alive, these cells work tirelessly to achieve equilibrium, keeping us at—or bringing us back to—a natural balance.
Philosophers of the body have long been creating and teaching systems to integrate the mind and body to achieve wellness. As a part of listening to one’s own body there exists an ongoing endeavor to sharpen one’s ability to be aware, knowledgeable and conscious enough to care for one’s self.
Our teachers are “philosophers” of the body who have studied many disciplines and now share their lifelong experience with students out of caring.
We see you!
HEAR |
Listen to our conversations with some who have helped create our history.
Over the past 20 years, Dancers’ Workshop has brought some of the world’s greatest and most profound artists to this community to create, teach, collaborate and perform within and for our community.
We will not stop.
We can not stop.
We cherish the value of the creative process and how it allows us to address and heal many problems of the individual and beyond.
Art can and does change lives.
That is our goal.
You will hear more from us!

DW’s school is the beating heart and very soul of Dancers’ Workshop. We allow the world to wash over us and continue to envision a new way.
Surprise! We can still be surprised! Our summer camps informed us in an extremely unexpected way.
We held four weeks of multidisciplinary camps and walked away transformed.
Our dance education philosophy will be ever expanding and inclusive of all art forms.
Our goal is to provide a wealth of experiences for each student to discover themselves.
This is not a time to close down, but to open up… to lean in!
To be generous and share with each other as we can.
Everyone at Dancers’ Workshop is working to envision a new and safe way to keep our community exploring and learning from the depth of the arts!
Join us and feel the joy of expression.
THINK |
We all at Dancers’ Workshop are so grateful to be here in Jackson Hole, to call it home.
We are also so grateful for the opportunity to have served this community for almost 50 years now. Much has changed throughout the years, many artists have come, shared and gone, many students have gone on to become professionals as “body philosophers” and some have returned to us to join their own teachers in continuing to teach, create and perform.
This is our legacy as an organization rooted in changing lives and building artful lives.
We thank you and we are thinking of you with every step we take!
Stay with us.
Thank you to W Tucker, Art is Vital featured Artist, and Tayloe Piggott for all her support and inspiration while serving as President of DW’s Board of Directors and Tayloe Piggott Gallery for all the innovative creative project support. We love you!
And welcome Jen Visosky, a long time board member who has stepped forward as our Board’s new president. We couldn’t be more delighted as she embodies what DW has been and hopes to be in the years to come across multidisciplinary and intergenerational arts.
We would also like to thank Veronica & Gary Silberberg for their longstanding dedication to the Arts and their generous support of DW, and allowing DW to partner with them to continue to service all of the amazing Artists and Arts organizations in our community.
Mostly, THANK YOU TO ALL THE DONORS that have supported us in this difficult time. We love you all!
In his essay “the Storyteller,” written between the World Wars, cultural observer Walter Benjamin wrote:
Never has experience been contradicted more thoroughly than strategic experience by tactical warfare, economic experience by inflation, moral experience by those in power. A generation that had gone to school on a horse-drawn streetcar now stood under the open sky in a countryside in which nothing remained unchanged but the clouds, and beneath those clouds, in a field of force of destructive torrents and explosions, was the tiny, fragile human body.
Keep moving on this day, and every day.
