Dance Passion

Dance Passion to the Call of the Ancestors

Call of the Ancestors - Kristo Art

I believe that the strongest memories are our bodies'; they are guts memories. Dance passion connects us to those core memories.

That's why it can't be any surprise to anyone that dance is fundamental in all culture. 

We can look at it whichever way we want, deny it, reject it, accept it, forget it, demonize it, honor it... it remains like all truth, an evidence. 

Everyone who is aware of that evidence in dance touches an extraordinarily high level of consciousness and connects to the call of the ancestors.

My Goddess Walk...

My Goddess Walk... Spiral Dance...

It began a long, long time ago. When I was a young girl of five or six years of age. It was then that I wanted to blow magical fairy dust on people so that they would be happy.


It was about the same time that I questioned my teachers in Catholic school about their religious teachings. What an upstart I was and still am! *smile*


The first time I knew of the Goddess was when I looked in the mirror and saw my image. She was beautiful to my young eyes and She still is.
