Introducing The Radiant Dancer:
Summer Workshops That Move You – Inside and Out
This summer, Creator’s Arts Centre is thrilled to welcome an inspiring force in the world of dance, wellness, and creative expression – The Radiant Dancer herself, Mariah-Jane Thies.
A celebrated educator, speaker, movement specialist, and trauma-informed somatic practitioner, Mariah-Jane brings over 37 years of experience in elite training, performance, and integrative healing work. Her passion for empowering dancers to move not just beautifully—but consciously and confidently—is at the heart of everything she does.
Through her groundbreaking program, The Radiant Dancer, she offers a unique and transformative approach that goes beyond technical precision. These workshops are about reclaiming joy, building resilience, and unlocking the radiant, grounded artist that lives in every dancer.

Whether you’re a young dancer, a seasoned mover, or a dedicated educator, these sessions are a gift of self-discovery and creative re-alignment.

🌿 Why It Matters
These programs reflect the heart of Creator’s: inclusive, professional, nurturing—and forward-thinking. By hosting Mariah-Jane, we’re offering our community an incredible chance to grow under the guidance of one of the most visionary dance educators in the world.
This is more than a workshop. It’s a reset.
A radiant recalibration.
And the kind of professional development you’ll carry for a lifetime.
For about three years, I have struggled with severe pain in my right ankle. After Mariah-Jane worked with me in a single session of the Injury Release Method, I no longer have any pain. I have been able to dance for several hours a day and just returned from a 22-mile hiking trip….still no pain! Additionally, this bodywork has improved my hip flexibility. Prior to her work, I could only hold my leg at hip height; now, I can développé up to my shoulder! Mariah-Jane is fantastic to work with, she is a great listener, highly knowledgeable, and made me feel safe as we worked together.

I have had the privilege to work for Mariah Jane Thies as a Creative Dance Specialist. She is one of the most inspirational dance educators I have ever met. Her knowledge of the "whole working dance body" is sound, precise, and accurate. She has the ability to educate a potential dancer to become higher than they can be, with ease and confidence. It is her desire to be in the "Now" with new educational advancements in the Art of Dance that sets herself apart from others in her field. Mariah-Jane is a passionate, driven, and nurturing woman. She is a team player, and a person who truly loves what she does. She is an amazing asset and will do wonders for you.
