Note from the Publisher:
This resource directory first appeared in Conscious Dancer Magazine #12, Fall 2010. It's updated and presented as an e-book to better serve the growing community. You may be one of the many people who have the mistaken idea that conscious dance
, (which could be defined as: movement with an intention towards greater awareness), is a fringe activity, something obscure and isolated. But really, when you look at the explosion of new modalities and ecstatic dance worldwide, it's easy to see that a movement is being formed across the cultural landscape. Mind-body fitness is huge, alcohol-free ecstatic/barefoot/freestyle
community dances can be found in almost every city, and many studios opening nowadays are movement
or multi-arts.
Dance is the next yoga
is how one reader phrased it. So if you just look for the opportunity for your own unique contribution to movement for a better world
, then you'll discover the how good it feels to be enrolled in conscious community in an active way. Conscious Dancer Magazine is at your service. Thank you.
