Nava Dance is a holistic movement practice that draws inspiration from Western and Central Asian dance traditions, contemporary dance, and devotional whirling. Rooted in embodied ritual and the power of the sacred circle, Nava Dance draws upon indigenous movement wisdom to guide participants into deeper connection with themselves and the universe. Classes give a sense of movement journey from subtle somatic inquiry to ecstatic cathartic release. We begin with breath, grounding and guided improvisation, then move into combinations, circle dances, and various kinds of spinning techniques!
