Sacred Dance / Circle Dance
I have been teaching and leading Sacred Dance / Circle Dance groups since 1986. Currently I am co-focaliser of the Sacred Dance Department at the Findhorn Foundation, where I regularly teach both beginners and experienced dancers. I have also taught workshops in Europe, North America and Australia.
Sacred Dance (as it's called at Findhorn) or Circle Dance (as it's called everywhere else) is based on European folk dancing but with an emphasis on the experience of dancing for its own sake, not on performance or competition. Most of the dances are done in circles or long lines so no partners are required. Although many dances are done just for the joy and fun of dancing it is possible to go deeper into them, for personal growth and insight, group feeling and conciousness, for celebration or support.
I sell a selection of dance music CDs, dance step booklets and sheet music books, click on the Shop link above to see more details.
Dance notes for the dances I teach can be found in the Steps section.
For information about forthcoming workshops, or to talk to me about arranging one in your area, click on the Workshops link.
I've written a few articles about dancing for various publications over the years, these are collected in the Articles section.
The Appreciations section contains nice things that people have said about me and my teaching (blush).
