baptize your mind
nouveau temple dance
Drink in with your eyes a freshly-brewed global alchemical amalgam of tribal fusion bellydance,
classical Indian dance, Middle Eastern dance, butoh, Afro-Haitian, and modern dance. Traditional dance forms are the training grounds, the foundation, in order to strengthen and refine, but these forms are not the confines... Not only an aesthetic creation, temple dance is an embodied prayer,
rhythmic blessing, moving spell, an offering to Gaia, and a wedding of the dancer to spirit in trance.
A true temple dancer brings abundance and fertility to the earth and human culture.
"You must dance until everyone is completely intoxicated with LOVE," - ShoShanna Rose, first dance teacher and initiatress.
