Join me in a journey of ReConnection & SelfDiscovery through Tribal Fusion Dance
From ancient times, Dance was part of our life as prayer, ritual, reaching other states of Consciousness; our ancestors used to dance in order to heal or to facilitate communion with Nature and contact with Divine. It was said that the soul of a being is woven into the moves of his dance.
Anna Halprin eloquently states: “to ‘cure’ is to physically eliminate a disease….To ‘heal’ is to operate on many dimensions simultaneously, by aiming at attaining a state of emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical health….Dance engages our whole being. It is, in my opinion, the most powerful of the arts because it is holistic in its very nature. Our body is our instrument. It is immediate and accessible, holding our wisdom and truth.”
Tribal Fusion Dance merge elements from Indian dance, Middle Eastern bellydance, Spanish flamenco, North-African dances, trance and contemporary dances. Though might be improvised, freely-expressed, is an intentional work with structured language.
Its essence is connection and celebration with life.
Why Tribal Fusion Dance as a tool of development and mastering oneself?
In the practice of TFD are embedded ancestral body practices and wisdom, which transform and integrate different sensory, motor, emotional and cognitive brain areas.
Therefor, might be possible to:
