ABOUT THE DANCES
This dancing could be called spiritual practice in motion and is often referred to as Body Prayer.
This group of Dances, simple and profound, are set to sacred texts and mantras of the world’s spiritual traditions. A Dance leader teaches participants the sacred phrase (lyrics), melody, and movements, often with live guitar and drum accompaniment. Leaders must subscribe to the International Dances of Universal Peace ethical guidelines.
