WHAT IF AGING WAS YOUR BEST TIME TO RELEASE YOUR PUREST CREATIVE EXPRESSION?
The Revolutionary Leader Anne Borow-Lawrence: The Woman Who Danced Through Cancer
At 3 AM, wide awake at home, in her nightgown, facing BRCA1 triple-negative breast cancer surgery in the morning, Anne Borow-Lawrence did something radical: she danced. That dance didn't just help her survive—it revolutionized her understanding of healing, aging, and aliveness itself.
AND THEN, during her 5-day stay in a specialized cancer treatment ward, something profound became clear: She wasn't sick. Her body was experiencing the effects of the treatment working. This wasn't denial - it was recognition that her body was doing exactly what it needed to do. The nurses, required to wear masks to protect her compromised immune system from germs, didn't quite know what to make of the woman dancing in room 342.
As Anne has stated often, "Room 342 became my dance studio. Between transfusions, during counts, even with IVs attached - I moved. Because stillness felt like death, and I wasn't there to expire. I was there to discover and inspire how healing could be."
Anne knew: Movement is life. Breathing and dancing are choosing LIFE - aliveness - even when - especially when - your body is working hardest to heal.
Today at 72, this Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award recipient has spent 45 years proving that transformation isn't just possible—it's an art form. Creator of Dance Through Surgery™ and leader of The Al!veness Revolution, Anne combines expressive arts therapy, neuro-science, transformational leadership, and hard-won wisdom to help others turn their greatest challenges into their most profound breakthroughs.
Daughter of a renowned muralist, a semi-professional dancer herself, and living proof that age is irrelevant when you're fully alive, Anne brings revolutionary perspectives to stages, workshops, and private sessions worldwide. Her Kaleidoscope Method™ has transformed lives with one simple principle: Change your perspective, change your life.
When she's not revolutionizing how we think about surgery, aging, or creativity, you'll find her painting, dancing, or proving that 72 is just a number and all there is is NOW!.
Ready to stop surviving and start thriving? Anne shows you how.
