Our mission

Help find your optimal involvement, expression, and eventually overall wellness. As passionate movement enthusiasts, we want to awaken your personal best. Movement helps you develop on multi-dimensional levels; physical, emotional and often spiritual.

Still Life

Without movement the body begins to seize up. You experience distressing immobility. Muscle tissue weakens and with time atrophies, and begins to break down. As range of motion becomes more and more diminished discomfort and pain become an accepted, daily inevitability and depression often follows.

This is not something you have to accept. Though it eventually happens to most, the challenge is to devise an exercise practice which can ward off or delay it. Movement 4 Life (M4L) challenges the inevitabilities of the body’s aging with intentional movement, joy, connection and purpose.

We embrace four key components: breathing, alignment of the body, strength training and increased flexibility. Every person taking lessons and learning movement technique will benefit from these components as they are foundational to balance, endurance, the flow of blood and energy throughout the body.

We seek to reveal each person’s brilliance, regardless of age, physical health, limitations or handicaps through our mission to help each person find optimal involvement, expression, and eventually, overall wellness.

It is true that life is in constant motion, and with time passing so rapidly, what we do for ourselves routinely serves as the building blocks for long-term change. By reinforcing good habits, and applying learned sensory tools, participating couples and individuals can find greater personal fulfillment in their own lives.

How We Can Help You

We love to taking on the challenge of bringing you to a place of harmony, awareness and ultimately peace and well-being through the exploration of movement.

As coaches, we have but one agenda: Help you realize your own greatness!!!

Acting as resources we become conduits for health. Experienced guides through the changes and development of improved body bio-mechanics.

We have a genuine interest in explorers just like you.

We have no confines or borders, be it dance, meditation, energy healing or fitness conditioning. We want to be your coach, guide, training partner and friend in realizing the answers lies within you.

You don’t have to be a dancer to benefit from M4L. Every individual can reap the benefits of improved circulation, deeper focused breathing, movement geared towards healing body, mind & spirit. M4L is a gentle, restorative approach to wholeness.

Who We Are

Keith & Lisa Banks

Together let’s start a movement.

Most recently, Co-Directors of iCoArts, Inspiring Community Out-reach through the Arts on behalf of non-profit organizations tasked with uplifting Southwest Florida.

As owner/founders of Studio 10 Dance for 25 years we’ve faced our share of challenges but always come through by caring for people.

Together we have kept the community prospering through varied outreach and creative programs:

  • ArtSpeak (Youth Talent Search and Showcase)

  • Hurricane Irma Relief efforts “Dinner & A Show”

  • Nairoibi Kenya Tour – Youth Mentoring Symposium

  • Meals of Hope: Meal Packaging

  • Immokalee Women’s Empowerment Workshop:
    “Building Confidence & Self-Love”

  • Ciclovia Inmokalee

  • Inmokalee Town Clean Up (3 years)

  • Second Harvest Food Bank (Santa Clara County, CA)

  • 10K Walk for Breast Cancer

  • Bags of Love (San Francisco)

  • Cure for Cancer Café

  • Blankets for Humanity (San Jose)

These are just a few of the causes we have championed.

Aligning our mission with community needs have been the foundation of our success.

Through coaching, teaching, choreography and producing we have come to believe life is boundless.

Running a dance and fitness based business along with maintaining a healthy marriage, raising four boys, and guiding a staff of diverse artists we completely understand the daily stressors and limitations that come from having societal expectations. Add to that family dynamics, vocational pressures, relationships and our deepest fears keep us from realizing our best SELF.

Acting as resources we become conduits for health. Experienced guides through the changes and development of improved body mechanics, we have an interest in explorers like you.

What to Do Next

We offer various classes, workshops, public speaking, events, private coaching and so much more.
