This weekend, Valerie defended her thesis and officially completed the Institute of Core Energetics Post Graduate Mastery Program!

From Valerie: "My thesis examined the development of Skimming the Surface®, which I like to call a movement healing journey, that originated as an intuitive choreographic inquiry and evolved into a contained, intentional somatic practice through the integration of Core Energetics principles. I am thrilled to continue bring this valuable healing work into the world."

As a newly awarded Advanced Certified Core Energetics Practitioner, Valerie continues her practice with Skimming the Surface® workshops and offering her own one-on-one Core Energetics sessions. For more details, visit https://www.danceentropy.org/core-energetics

Over the past year, Valerie Green has completed her Core Energetics Post Graduate Degree with The Institute of Core Energetics. This Saturday she presents her thesis, Skimming the Surface®: The Development of an Integrative Somatic Movement Practice.

The paper explores the evolution of this work since 2016 and the impact of Core methodology in expanding this practice, as well as researches the themes of 30 years of professional dance making, and the impact of Core Energetics on her choreographic process and the repertory of VG/DE.

Last week we had our final performance of Dance Entropy's 2026 Residency at PS 112! Our Teaching Artists worked with PS 112's 2rd graders throughout the Spring 2026 semester to learn new styles, harbor creative movement, and experience the joy of dance.

This past weekend we took Skimming the Surface to Fountain House Studio in LIC! Here's a sneak peak at some exciting moments from our workshop with our amazing participants.

"The guided movements and your gentle prompting were both relaxing and informative, the results of which, I hope all of us could continue to employ and reinforce in our daily lives."

Thank you to our friends at for hosting this transformative experience.

Join us Wednesday, June 10th for a look at our newest work-in-progress, Beauty.

Beauty is often understood as something to be shaped, perfected, or consumed.

This dance asks a different question: what does beauty look like when the body is no longer trying to be beautiful? This work explores beauty not as something arranged for the eye, but as something revealed through sensation, effort, and truth. What emerges is not an idealized body, but a living one—imperfect, expressive, and undeniably alive.

Rehearsal is free and open to all at Green Space. Q&A and light refreshments to follow. More Info: https://www.danceentropy.org/new-events/beauty-open-rehearsa
