About
As individuals, Dakinis and Dakas work to help us overcome obstacles on our path to self-discovery and expression. They operate under the wisdom that every body is capable of feeling ecstatic, that every person deserves to give and receive love, and that every soul can know bliss.
As an institution, The DAKA strives to support self-discovery and facilitate the expression of your body’s movements. It is our intention to cultivate a community of balanced and healthy individuals by spreading knowledge and inspiring one another to move into a more holistic existence. Through the kinesthetic disciplines of dance, yoga, acrobatics, flow-toys, and meditation, one may connect better with themselves and those around them. This increased connection can bring greater self-awareness in actions and thoughts, more compassion towards others, and a growing sense of personal fulfillment.
Our Mission:
To build and promote the kinesthetic, circus, and performing arts culture in Metro Detroit by providing affordable space, equipment and physical resources, networking opportunities, professional development and career support, and by making financial investments in the pursuit of creative freedom for all.
To accomplish our mission, the D.A.K.A. will:
- Provide afordable practice and rehearsal space for the performing artists in Detroit trying to make a living with their art.
- Provide a space for leaders and educators in the arts to hold for-profit private lessons, group workshops, and ongoing classes for the general public.
- Offer a platform for individuals to build careers teaching, as well as exhibit a professional standard for educators of the kinesthetic arts.
- Support the formation of a network of individuals, troupes, and circuses through meet-and-greets, open jams, and interdisciplinary productions.
