Dreaming While Awake

Laura Donnelly is a teacher, mentor, choreographer, dancer, writer, and founder of Dancing with Ease. She teaches Body-Brain-Business Balance online and in person. The work is based on Laura's 35 plus years as a performer and teacher of the Alexander Technique, Somatics, Movement Fundamentals™, and business management. Working with individuals Laura supports people to reduce stress, eliminate overwhelm, and discover their “right effort” to achieve dynamic balance in all activities. Applying this work to business creation and development allows business owners to create businesses that fit them, their energies, their ideal workflows, and specific time commitments. This organic process uses “right effort” which ensures that the business that emerges fits the owner/founder like a fine leather glove. Starting from a foundation based on personal wellbeing and organic growth insures that the business supports awareness and personal growth while bringing financial success and joy. Laura has an MFA in Theatre Arts/Dance from the University of Arizona. She completed masters coursework in Business Management at the University of Phoenix and Six Sigma training at the request of the Provost at the University of Arizona. She has consulted on numerous small business enterprises for medical doctors, fertility specialists, architects, locksmiths, home inspectors, and realtors.

She toured throughout the U.S. and Europe as a professional dancer performing ballet, modern and historical dance. Her choreography has been performed in the U.S. and Europe. She teaches, writes, and photographs the world around her.
