Reborn Arts
our mission and vision
Our mission is to create movement experiences that transcend cultural, social, gender, socioeconomic, generational, and language barriers. Through our services and programs, we aim to facilitate the feeling of self-agency, a space for community and shared experiences, and a sense of belonging. We strive to provide life-giving movement experiences that break cycles of isolation, complacency, uniformity, and apathy, and encourage community, creativity, diversity, and expression. Reborn Arts aims to create situations that elicit gut reactions, bringing breath and ownership back to our often passive, overly structured lives.
The vision of Reborn Arts is to revive community through the power of catharsis utilizing movement and art.

In 2021, she became the director of The Academy of Dance in Orange County, which ignited her sense of urgency in using dance education to improve the future of the next generation.
With these experiences combined, Boróka saw a need for community, emotional release, and the development of empathy and agency within her surroundings. With a passion for diversity, empowerment, and agency, she realized how important emotional release and shared experiences are in achieving these things.
