Sacred Dance is a journey into ourselves, using dance as a spiritual practice of coming more fully into life as it is. We use the body as a gateway to open to a space of uninhibited flow where we can find and release blocked energy and step into ourselves more fully. Through movement, expression and music we will flow through the elements, exploring all that makes us human. Come prepared to move, to sweat and to claim your potential.
