My name is Mona Lee, and I’ve loved dance for as long as I can remember. I started training professionally at 15 years old in 2008, where I began refining my musicality, movement, and relationship with self-expression. Growing up, music became a language for emotions I didn’t know how to speak aloud.
Through my teens and twenties, dance became my home. I battled, competed, directed teams, performed, created music videos, and poured everything into movement and artistry.
In my late twenties, after surviving a traumatic experience, dance became something deeper. I had to relearn how to feel safe in my body again. Movement helped me reconnect with myself, regulate my nervous system, process emotion, and heal.
After returning to my body, I began training musicians and was asked to teach a movement art workshop at Stanford University.
The Art of Dance was created for anyone wanting to train, move freely, reconnect to their body, express themselves, or simply feel alive again through movement.
