WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
FLIGHT SCHOOL: LEVEL 1
Learn how to guide powerful, grounded movement experiences.
Flight School: Level 1 is a live, online training that equips you to facilitate transformational dance journeys using the Mariposa Movement Method — a powerful fusion of evidence-based dance therapy, somatic intelligence, and earth-honoring ritual.
WHY 'FLIGHT SCHOOL"?
In the Mariposa Movement method, every dance is a journey: a flight path from start to finish, take off to landing.
As a dance facilitator, you are the pilot. You learn how to guide the arc, steer the ship, transport people to higher altitudes… and bring them safely back to earth.
In the process, you become the pilot not only of your dance floors, but of your own life.
FLIGHT SCHOOL LEVEL 1 IS FOR YOU IF…
✅ Movement is already part of your life and you want to deepen your practice
✅ You feel called to begin offering movement spaces for your clients or community
✅ You already host events and want to deepen your facilitation tools
✅ You want a trauma-aware, embodied approach to leadership
✅ You value mentorship, community, and experiential group learning
✅ You want training you can integrate into real life and professional practice

ABOUT YOUR GUIDE
Dance Therapist, DJ, and Founder of Mariposa Movement
Hi, I’m Aliza Rivka — Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist, Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, and professional DJ.
For nearly two decades, I’ve guided hundreds through transformational work rooted in movement, somatics, nature connection and embodied leadership. My work bridges clinical training in dance/movement therapy with years of facilitating large-scale retreats and trainings internationally.
With a BA in Dance from Columbia University, an MS in Dance/Movement Therapy from Sarah Lawrence College, and a PhDJ from Body Language, I integrate evidence-based practice with ceremonial space-holding, music curation, and leadership development — equipping facilitators to lead powerful, ethical, and impactful spaces.
Today, I train women to become grounded, attuned, and skillful facilitators who can hold spaces that are inspiring, trauma-informed, and deeply human.
Spaces where people can move, feel, and reconnect — without performance, pressure, or pretense.
It would be an honor to guide you and fly together.
What Graduates are Saying
“I have seen and done tons of program of everykind and this one stands out. The structure is incredibly well-designed, the leadership is exceptional, and the way the work is guided through movement is unlike anything I’ve experienced. Even the readings feel intentional and deeply supportive. After just one class, I can already feel a shift — reclaiming my power in a real, embodied way. This work is inspiring, transformational, and already impacting my life more than I expected. I’m so grateful for everything I’m getting to unlearn and relearn!”
