Ralph will lead peace dances with a focus on unity and chanting in unison which can be danced and sung in harmonies or as rounds.
Adding body movements makes it so much easier to learn and sing a melody than just being static... The dances cover a wide range from slow meditative to high energy dances honouring various spiritual / religious traditions, including partner dances, Sufi zikrs and some of Ralph's own dances. No experience in singing or dancing is required - everyone is welcome. Weather permitting, we hope to dance some dances outside on the round lawn in the sheltered garden adjoining the dance hall.
"If you can talk, you can sing. If you can walk, you can dance." (African saying)

Experience the magic of the Dances of Universal Peace, their gentle uplifting and transformative effect: Singing and dancing are elementary creative expressions of our being. Focusing and using our bodies, hearts and souls, brings our whole being into balance and harmony. The human voice is a gateway to the soul. Forming a circle is a symbol and reminder of us being part of a community. In synchronised movements of the group as one organism, the separated individuality may dissolve into a blissful state of oneness. Singing in harmony with others resonates with all creation: sun, moon and the planets, the elements around us - and the dancing atoms in us.

"Just to say thank you for the very insightful DUP session on Saturday. It was truly magical and was received with perfect timing. It was a wonderfully creative and healing experience for me. I would love to explore this theme with the dances further sometime. Thanks again," (Jo, after a themed dance session: "Honouring the Darkness" in London-Islington, November 2010)

Dancing in a circle while chanting sacred phrases from different traditions is a powerful and uplifting experience. You forget, that you think you can't sing. You feel that you are alive - and connected with others. You may get lost in the 'Here & Now' and find your heart is opening; you smile and laugh more...

Each dance is introduced and easy to learn - beginners are warmly welcome.
