I believe in the power of motion, the wisdom of gravity, the emptiness of true love, the fact that there is no way out but through the body, no way up unless we all go together, no way down unless we follow the beat, no way in unless we embrace the dark.

You just have to determine to settle for nothing less than being FULLY ALIVE, to show up, be who you are, and share your gifts.

Dance has been my medium, my metaphor, my message and my meditation.

In many shamanic societies, people who complain of being disheartened... or depressed would be asked,... When did you stop dancing? ... This is because dancing is a universal healing salve.

The body is the womb of the soul, a begging bowl for spirit.

Dancing, singing, storytelling and silence are the four universal healing salves.

If you don't do your dance, who will?
