DANCE DHARMA
Weaving sacred sound and big beats to
craft somatically-sensitive movement meditation and ecstatic dance.
Dance Dharma
- a remembering of the body and soul. What is it like to touch the sacred, in joy and in reverence?
* Cultural Sensitivity Statement. Regarding the use of the term “dharma”: Although Nina considers herself a Buddhist in the Western Buddhist (Theravadan) tradition, she is not of Asian descent. Nina brings humility, acknowledgment, and respect for the original teachings and for the rich and diverse cultures that created and nurtured the teachings, allowing people outside the cultures - like herself - to benefit. Her decades of studying translated Buddhist teachings ground her work in the authentic voices that must be centered. This work is inspired by the skillful qualities that arise from dharma practice, not that the work is in itself a dharma (from Sanskrit root dhri, to support, to hold.). A portion of her earnings are donated to AAPI organizations, including AAPIP, a national philanthropy focused on building a more just and equitable society for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. AAPI DEI consultants contributed to the crafting of this statement.
