Dance to uplift yourself and raise your frequency. Our aim is to
create inner and outer harmony: in ourselves, in our relationship with
the Earth, with Spirit and with one another through guided and
free-style dance, conscious movement, and meditation.
We will focus on the element of earth with sensual yet rigorous dance,
and explore a poem by Rumi that speaks powerfully to our times.
A Free Online Event with Banafsheh Sayyad
April 7 @5:30pm PT with replay on April 9 @12pm PT
Join Banafsheh to discover how sacred dance can help you activate the power and resilience to not just survive, but thrive as you endure individual and collective challenges — so you can become a radiant, divine human who can help heal our traumatized world.
What if you could tap back into the power of your Heart on a visceral, cellular and energetic level to discover what’s really wanted and needed for your life and happiness now?
What if you could turn off the inner critic in your head in order to access a deeper, more powerful inner Wisdom?…
This week’s Dance First Insight is from Adam Barley, the man behind ZeroOne!
During my work, stuff comes up. There’s often a strong sense of moving through it in a way that feels like healing, to use the original meaning of the word, which is related to wholeness, and holiness. We become more completely ourselves.
Because of this common experience, there’s a tendency to think of it as therapy. But it’s not. Therapeutic, yes, but not therapy, as I understand it.
I want to explain how I see it because I get asked about it fairly often. The following is imperfect, but it’s a start. If you have any comments or suggested revisions, I’d be glad to hear from you.
Community is a quirky concept. What makes a community? How do you know when you’re in one? Can communities overlap?
The whole idea of community is sort of like a fractal. If you zoom out to the 30,000 foot view from an airplane window, then an entire city or town could be considered a community.
If you zoom all the way in to your dining room table, then a community may be no larger than a few friends united by common interest. Communities are also defined by the things the members care about or value.

This class series is an introduction to Anna Halprin’s unique approach to body and movement. This is a series for anybody that wants to explore the power of dance and discover new possibilities for expression. Halprin’s interdisciplinary approach to movement, including spanning philosophy, science, and dance, encourages the discovery of the joy, strength, and inspiration that a dancing body can provide. We will also explore some of the scores that Anna used to teach in her own classes.
