Hold hands in a circle and dance with joy! That's the way our ancestors celebrated life and gave thanks to heaven for the bountiful harvest, village weddings, new babies, feasts, and the passage of the seasons. "This is why I dance - it's a most perfect form of prayer that combines joy, and beauty and thanksgiving. For me, every step is a prayer, linking the energies of heaven and earth." |
