Our mission
At OT MOVES, our mission as an occupational therapy practice, led by Alexandra Godiva, is to enhance the lives of individuals through personalized therapeutic interventions that promote independence and well-being. We are dedicated to providing compassionate care that supports each person’s unique needs and goals. In addition, our OT Dance Studio for kids aged 3 and up aims to inspire creativity and confidence through the joy of dance. We create an engaging space where children can develop essential motor skills, express themselves, and thrive both physically and emotionally. Together, both branches of our mission focus on fostering growth, joy, and empowerment in every individual serve.
ABOUT
I am Alexandra Godiva, an Occupational Therapist, professional dancer/choreographer, wife and proud mom of two. My journey with dance began as soon as I could walk, sparked by the joy it brought to others. This passion has remained a central part of my life, guiding me in both personal and professional endeavors.
I pursued a Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy at Long Island University, fueled by a desire to help others. Little did I know how well my two passions - OT and dance - would complement each other. Now, every movement I teach is not only fun and engaging but also scientifically designed to promote growth and learning.
In addition to leading OT Dance Studio, I offer private OT sessions for those in need of dedicated, personalized care. My work goes beyond traditional therapy; I integrate my scientific knowledge into dance, creating a powerful and enjoyable therapeutic experience. This approach is particularly effective with children, as it helps them develop foundational skills in a fun and engaging way.
Through dance, children enhance their neural connections, build confidence, and learn perseverance, strength, and self-awareness. Whether performing solo or as part of a team, they experience deep connections with their peers, forming lasting friendships and a strong sense of community.
At OT Dance Studio, we choreograph each student's journey toward becoming their best selves - confident, creative, and connected. With every step we take together, we move closer to a brighter future. I invite you to join us and experience the transformative power of dance and therapy.
