Sacred Dance, Circle Dance, Ritual Dance

Ancient Forms/Modern Timesat

MaMa-Marbletown Multi Arts
in Stone Ridge, NYYou are invited to dance in community- traditional Balkan, Greek, Romanian, Armenian, and near Eastern sacred circle dances. Throughout all ages and cultures, traditional circle dances were used to honor the divine, to heal, to affirm connection to the earth and each other, to build community and celebrate rites of passages and life transitions. The danced patterns illuminate the web of these connections. It is where personal and universal healing can occur.

We will use the traditional dances as a platform for heightening awareness of body/self, self to community and self to cosmos. We will examine the dances on multiple levels to indulge in these connections.  The expressive and improvisational aspects of Dance/Movement Therapy will support further exploration such as sensations, images, feelings,and stories in order to deepen and expand our experience. We will also have the opportunity to honor the Autumn/Winter in free expressive dance

as well.We will be celebrating the Autumn descending and the Winter almost upon us. Our dances will reconnect us into this ancient way of honoring the earth's rhythms. We will seek not only guidance from the dances but from those who created these dances, the ancestors of the dances. The wisdom of the ancient ones are held within the dances. As we attentively dance and plug into this wisdom we reweave ourselves into the time honored web of life.

The dances are joyful, meditative, mournful, full of beauty, longing,life and celebration!Space is limited!Advance Registration is recommended!Adv rate- $35Day of - $45
