Dances of Universal Peace

About The Dances

From the beginning of time, sacred movement, song and story have brought people together - at times of seasonal ceremony and celebration, as part of everyday life and life passages, in daily renewal and meditation. The Dances of Universal Peace are part of this timeless tradition of sacred movement, song and story.

The Dances of Universal Peace are simple, meditative, joyous, multi-cultural circle dances that use sacred phrases, chants, music and movements from the many spiritual traditions of the earth to touch the spiritual essence within ourselves and recognize it in others. Building on the work begun by Samuel L. Lewis in the 1960s, they promote peace and integration within individuals and understanding and connection within groups worldwide. There are no performers nor audience: new arrivals and old hands form the circle as everyone sings and dances together.

An Invitation to the Dance

This is a short (20 minute) video that explains what the Dances of Universal Peace are and why they are important to people who are involved with them.  Filmed at a dance retreat in Canyonlands, Utah in September 2006, the video features dance footage, interviews with retreat attendees, music, photos, and a bit of the dances history.
