Patricia Gracia
Patricia Gracia is a passionate dance/movement educator fascinated with pedagogy as a vehicle to facilitate the confluence of creative, social, political and healing practices. She learned ballet from an early age and soon understood movement as her first language. The drive to find her authentic moving self led her to studying Contemporary Dance (BA) and Performance (MA) at the London Contemporary Dance School, and Dance Movement Therapy at the UAB. After many years working as a dancer, a dance teacher and a Dance Movement Therapist she turned to BMC® to deepen her skills for self enquiry and teaching. Within the School for Body-Mind Centering® she has been certified as an IDME, Practitioner and Teacher. Since 2017, and together with Walburga Glatz and Jorge Ezquerra, she proudly supports BMC® Certified Programs in Spain through Movimiento Atlas.
