Sacred Summertime Circle Dances
Dances to Celebrate the Summer & the Fullness of Life
w/Dance Therapist Nada Khodlova
Friday June 10th 7:15-9:30pm
at DTW in NYC
219 W 19th Street (bet 7 & 8 Ave)
3rd Floor
You are invited to celebrate the summer by dancing 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, 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 celebrate the summer in free expressive dance as well.
We will be celebrating the suns energy in our own lives as did the ancients. Our dances will reconnect us into this ancient way of honoring the earth's rhythms. As we are experiencing the warm, fuller power of the sun, we can express the outward joy in the fullness of life and the richness of our worldly blessings. 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, full of beauty, longing, life and celebration!

Testimonials-
"Nada's ritual dance workshop was one of the most self-nurturing, inspiring, and significant dance experiences I've had in my whole life. Her thoughtful introduction of each traditional dance is especially rewarding and helped me to feel connected to centuries of people who have danced these dances before." Michelle Goldsmith-Dance/
