 ” Let the beauty of what you love be what you do”

What is it that attracts us to this Powerful Dance?

Oriental Dance is purely feminine…there is no question about that!!!  That exquisite feminine movement calls to the natural rhythm of our ‘creature-hood’ as female.

The deep and powerful beats and the heart-centered melodic movements of Arabic music elicit  a primal, yet ethereal, body expression.

It is as if our deepest ‘self’ recognizes a perfect expression of beauty! It is our highest vision of ourselves.

The experience is, at once, empowering and transformative.

Those of us that have lived our lives with dance as our ‘center’, as  a constant ‘touchstone’ of our Joy, Beauty and Power KNOW that it has been bestowed through the Gift of Grace. Our greatest Joy is to Dance!

As a young woman I was awakened in and through this dance. I had truly ‘fallen in love’…I was consumed! I even had my Dance Teacher say “it is only dance’…

but that was because he was a male…he could not KNOW the Primal Passion of the Goddess! Yet, he felt the Power of the Dance and understood it.

Now, after all of these years, I can reflect and SEE how pivotal it was to embrace this dance. In spite of the resistance I encountered, on so many levels.

I do KNOW that it has been the instrumental, if not, central aspect of my personal and spiritual development.

I know, or at least imagine, that I share that with countless women.

The greatest beauty of this dance is that it is for ALL women…All ages…it is a source of Joy and Power wherever and whenever the music plays…

Even in the kitchen!!!

Thank You Maria Aya..You are Fantastic!!!!!

OK Ladies! Let’s Dance!!!!
