Day of Dances of Universal Peace 

There will be a Day of Dances of Universal Peace event at the Meeting House on the theme of ‘Healing’, 

on Sunday 4th October 2009, from 10.30 till 4pm.

Dances of Universal Peace are easy, fun, spiritual and joyful circle dances, using words from various sacred traditions from around the world - such as Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Native American, Buddhist, etc. The Dances are essentially a form of celebration and meditation in sound and movement. The words, melodies and simple dance steps are always explained before each dance, so it is easy for beginners to join in.

You do not need a partner.

Tickets cost £20 (or £10 concessions). If you have never done Dances of Universal Peace before, take advantage of our First-timer Special Introductory Price of only £5.
