• The IMGE Methodology deconstructs Ishita Mili’s unique approach to globalized movement and personal storytelling. Classes use movement phrases integrating foundations from hip hop, bharatanatyam, house, to chhau that overlap into a new vocabulary. IMGE Methodology intensives offer a multi-day deep dive into the historical and intuitive connections between cross-cultural movement, body and mental alignment, and emotive grounding to access your maximum potential. 

    Class is open to movers from all backgrounds who are interested in finding community with like-minded explorers. 2+ years of prior dance experience recommended.

    • This weekend left me feeling more centered and grounded in myself.

    • I appreciated the opportunity to explore one piece in more depth, allowing time for practice and reflection, which improved my control over my overall movement.

    • The intensive allowed all of us to understand ways we can both embrace and disrupt how our bodies move.

    • It’s unique to find instructors who treat students with such respect and care.

    • Ishita provided specific and helpful feedback that I’ll continue to integrate into my own dance practice.

    • You’ve curated such unique and distinctive experiences for each intensive - I felt like I trained completely different dance muscles and felt out of element (in such a good way) all over again.

    • The intensive was so transformative.
