Meet Boulder, Colorado-based Susanna Thaler Drogsvold, our Contact Improv Dance Instructor!
Susanna has been dancing, teaching and performing since she was a child. Growing up in a small isolated rural community, she learned to dance on her own, and was introduced to formal training in college, receiving degrees from the University of South Florida and Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. As a faculty member at Naropa (now Naropa University) from 1979 –1992, she taught contact improvisation, modern dance, ritual theater, contemplative dance, and ran the study-abroad programs in dance/music to both Bali Indonesia, and Nepal. She worked for many years at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History, and maintains an appointment with the CU Contemplative Resource Center. Susanna’s approach to dance/movement is as a healing art, and is a big piece of the management of crohn’s disease which she has had since childhood. She has danced her way through raising two children into marvelous adults.
These days, in addition to contact improv jams and ecstatic dance events, Susanna has been singing, songwriting, jamming with musicians, teaching yoga, hiking in the mountain west with her husband, travelling and enjoying the beauty of the world.
