Welcome!
The Dances of Universal Peace (Sufi Dancing) honor sacred traditions of the earth by incorporating mantras & scripture of the world’s religions into melodic moving meditations. The evening will include singing, dancing, & prayers, with everyone participating.
These dances are spiritual practice
for many dancers,
& we can help maintain the sacred, joyful atmosphere as we sing & dance.
It is customary to sing whole-heartedly,
hold a minute or so of silence
after a dance ends, & to refrain from talking throughout the evening.
We are thankful for this opportunity
to dance together & to celebrate the coming year with peaceful hearts.
Please sign in upon arrival.
Wear comfortable shoes for dancing.

Too bay hune lahb die slama
Dock nowee duh Alaha nit qarune
Altissimo Corazon 3x Que Floresqua
Que floresqua la luz 3x
Que Floresqua
Siya kudumisa 3x N’kosi yethu
The ocean refuses no river, no river
Ishk Allah Mabood Lillah, il Allah
