Retreats
Tika Morgan Dance retreats are centered around dance as a way of life. Embodying and celebrating the power available within us. By working with fundamental technique, traditional, and popular movement, her retreats offer an opportunity for dancers at any level, to delve into discovering our body’s potential as we move. Participants are guided to explore the interplay between form and freedom and the power of moving as one. Both reverent and joyous, dancers will experience historical and symbolic references for even the most basic steps so that we experience what she calls
“dancing our human story”.

This year, many returning dancers have requested more time so there will be two options:
Come for the regular 5 days and fly out Sunday afternoon March 22, or stay longer and dance through the 24th.
We dance 3 hours per day, typically in the morning, in a gorgeous space surrounded by tropical green.
There are no mirrors on this retreat. We really internalize the movements and work where we are. All are welcome.
Outside of dancing, your time is free to enjoy however you like: from taking walks on the beach, to journaling, eating nutritious meals, or exploring the local areas (including Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Akumal). The TMD Equinox Retreat really encourages rejuvenation at a time of year when the Mayan people celebrate renewal as the Spring Equinox begins all over the Yucatán.
The energy of the land and its history literally hold the qualities of renewal. It truly is a wonderful time to stop, reflect and connect with like minded people at the half way point the year and feel.
These Retreats are deep and curated, therefore we will be keeping the attendance at a certain amount of people.
We find that this makes the experience more intimate and enjoyable for all. Deposits of $300 to hold your spot
About this retreat:
There is always a Welcome Lunch or dinner on the first day together at OTAN

These are beautiful Retreats! Tika really curates such an amazing experience. It was really special to dive deeper into dance with like-minded community. The physical space was a dream… and getting to swim in the warm turquoise waters was the perfect way to end each day after class. I cannot wait until the next one!!!
Paulina L
What a magical retreat! I could not recommend Tika’s work in this location more! It truly is transformative and I can’t wait to go back to dive in even deeper!

MEXICO CITY 2026
This is an opportunity to enjoy the city, see some amazing art and dance with me in some
of Mexico City’s loveliest dance spaces. Our dancing will be at open level
“Tika’s “Urban Retreat” in Mexico City was divine,
divine, divine! An immense pleasure.
She set such intention and provided us with an incredible experience! I’m profoundly grateful for the space she creates and holds for us both on and off of the dance floor as well as the community of powerful and inspiring women that I was honored to get to know and love even more! Mexico City was an unforgettable dance partner and
I cannot wait to return!”

“Tika's Mexico City dance retreat enlivened, nourished, and delighted both my body and spirit. It helped me to reconnect with the full span of my wings (which I had not felt since before the pandemic and having my daughter four years earlier).
There is something deeply transformative about dancing intensively for 2-3 hours with Tika and then having time afterwards to wander through the beautiful lushly green streets of CDMX giving myself space to experience the world in new and different ways than I am able to access in my day to day life. I loved getting to experience all the different styles of dance that Tika offers in several different studios around Mexico city. Each session had its own flavor and juicy aliveness. I can't wait to go back for her next urban retreat!”
