Dancing for people is all well & good, but don't forget to dance for the many other honored guests... the sun, moon, the sacred plants, the spirit of water, fire, earth, air... the ancestors... the many nature spirits... nagas, yakshinis... Temple dancers, offer the these secret performances, and venture ever deeper into what it means to be a sacred vessel. Love, e. Photo by the maestra & women's empowerment coach Robin Clark. The most powerful, beautiful, activated dance performance... is always the annual “Student” Performance at the Nouveau Devadasi Fusion Temple Dance Festival. For three years now, I have been a servant of this vision, the Fusion Temple Dance Festival, celebrating traditional and modern sacred dance. It is the student performance that always reminds me why I do this. Participating dancers BLOOM through the immersive process: each different teacher and style of dance had a marked effect on each student. I always see a unique goddess emerging in every dancer throughout the festival. It is beyond fulfilling to witness women creatively empowered through interpretive temple dance, fully and shamelessly reveling in the beauty of their own feminine form and spiritual power.
