I invite you to share in my love for traditional  Balkan, Greek, Rom, Armenian, and near Eastern 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.  

In this workshop we will use the traditional dances as a platform for heightening  awareness of body/self, self to 

community, 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.  

 The dances are joyful, meditative, mournful, full of beauty, longing,  life and 

celebration. come, join me. 

This workshop is suitable for women who are comfortable exploring through improvisational dance.
