Classical and folkloric dances of the Mediterranean and central Asia bring a love of the eternal feminine into our human existence. African, Asian and European people have been linked by trading food, tools, art, language, and religion for 5000 years and more. Archeological find across Asia over the last two centuries have given us images of dancers in sacred acts, shamanic visions, blessings, initiations, victory and purification. Surviving forms of sacred dance are now traditions, but once were revolutions.
