Meet Devon
Devon Near-Hill is a teaching and performing artist, Brazilian Zouk and Lambada educator, and expressive arts coach. As Co-Director of Denver School of Social Dance and creator of Efficient Follow, she helps people develop body awareness, choice, comfort, and creative possibility through movement.

A Session With Me Might Be a Good Fit If You:
• Are an educator, teaching artist, expressive arts practitioner, or school-based professional working with burnout, workplace well-being, curriculum development, leadership, or more sustainable ways of working.
• Are navigating a transition, decision, creative block, or moment when you are unsure of your next move.
• Are curious about creative, embodied support alongside or beyond traditional talk therapy, for yourself, with a loved one, or both.
• Want a space to develop clearer boundaries, greater self-awareness, and more choice.
• Want personalized feedback to deepen your body awareness, confidence, or movement practice.
• Want to develop safer, more comfortable, and more expressive Brazilian Zouk or Lambada technique, whether you lead, follow, or explore both roles.
• Want to bring more play, communication, or connection into movement with your partner.
• Are preparing to dance at a wedding, performance, or another meaningful event.
You do not need to know exactly what kind of support you need before we meet. We can begin with what you are navigating and find the next useful move together.

(About Head Movement Fundamentals)
I truly recommend anything that Devon does especially this class in particular. The amount of info provided in this class for one's needs and development when it comes to Zouk is truly invaluable. Definitely one of the best classes out there.
