What people say

“Taking part in The Dances of Universal Peace has given me a precious opportunity to find my place in a circle with others. The use of sacred words and simple movement has offered me a safe and supportive structure to really let go into... to experience deep connection and very welcome peace.”  
– Bernadette, Juniperbank

“I dance because it makes me feel at one  with the Earth and with others, I get a great feeling of peace and connectedness.  No matter how tired I am I always feel energised by our dancing and singing.  There is no pressure to perform, just to enjoy and to be. I love the spirituality which is not tied to one religion, the freedom to relax and enjoy.  Thank you for this gift of Dance”
– Joan, Edinburgh

“It's a very friendly group. Everyone is made welcome, and competence in dancing is not a requirement!"
– Wendy, Edinburgh

“I came away from the evening feeling much more alive and energised than when I arrived.  The dances and chants are taught in a clear and straightforward way that makes them easy to learn and conveys a genuine sense of respect for, and sensitivity to, the traditions from which they have come.  The way that dances with different textures follow on from each other helps to maintain interest and variety. The pauses and silences in between the dances were 'held' sensitively, enabling the atmosphere evoked by the dance to be felt and enjoyed by the group without losing the overall flow of the evening."
– Pete, Edinburgh

“I arrived feeling really tired, but now I'm flying!"
– New dancer, Edinburgh
