Rainbow Chakra Dancing
The word chakra
is Sanskrit for wheel or disk and signifies one of seven basic energy centers in
the body. Each of these centers correlates to major nerve ganglia branching
forth from the spinal column. In addition the chakras also correlate to levels
of consciousness, archetypal elements, developmental stages of life, colors,
sounds, and body functions. There are certain belly dance movements that will
activate each chakra. Once the chakras are open the chances for healing and
transformation are present. Learn to feel the deep muscles connected to each of
the chakras and learn the belly dance movements to activate them. Explore the
energies of the chakras and create personal affirmations. Then, belly dance
your desires in a safe, supportive environment. Open to all levels of fitness
and dance experience.
Belly
Dancing The Sacred Shapes™
There are
universal
Sacred Shapes™ that create the foundation of all the styles of the
ancient art of belly dance. They are the same mystical symbols that have
appeared in human expression for thousands of years. The circle seen in the
moon and in our eyes. The crescent of our smile and a warm hug. The figure eight
of our breath and of the unseen cosmos. The undulations of our oceans and our
rivers. The shimmy of sound and the quaking of our earth. Learn belly dance as
you move in these sacred patterns. Then, learn
The Sea Anemone™
dance and delight in dancing together and sharing the powerful movements of
belly dance. Open to all levels of fitness and dance experience.
Under the Veil
The veil has been
a sacred tool and symbol for thousands of years. A veil separates us from the
spiritual world - we cannot wholly see it but we know it is there. A veil in the
form of clothing conceals us and protects us. A veil covers us in the womb till
we are ready to emerge through it and be born. As women we often stand between
the veils, stand behind the veil, or carry the veil within us. Learn how to use
this powerful tool for joy, for healing, and for meditation. Learn the
introductory movements of belly dance and dance with the veil. Then, join in a
group veil dance in celebration. Open to all levels of fitness and dance
experience.
The Sacred Sensual™
Renewal of our
sensual self is essential in our busy lives. The simple movements of belly
dance renew our sensations of being wholly alive with a body that is perfect
just the way it is. The circular, undulating, vibrating, spiraling movements
of belly dance are easy to learn and fun to explore. In a creative, supportive
environment you will learn movements to use in your daily life that will enhance
your overall sensation and feeling of well-being. Open to all levels of fitness
and dance experience.
Dancing The Goddess Within™
This is our signature
workshop which we have been teaching since 1992. Come with us on a journey
into the realm of the Goddess where there is joy in our bodies just the way they
are. We will begin with a series of movements that mirror the great
Goddess myths of our human heritage. We then move into learning the Sacred
Shapes of Belly Dance. The world around us is full of mystical symbols, or
sacred shapes, that upon contemplation bring us understanding and insights.
Imagine what will be unlocked when you move these shapes with your body.
Next we will enter our deepest realm through guided mediation. It is
unknown what you will find there but whatever it is we will support and
encourage you while we enact through dance what you found. Here, in this
loving, supportive environment is where your Goddess Dance comes alive
