THE DANCE, THE PRACTICE
DANCE transports us into an energetic space of balance and rejuvenation. The music sets, on Sundays 1pm to 3pm at the Portland, Maine Portland Community Dance, are based on the 5RHYTHMS(R) dance flow, with 2 peaks. DanzaRa' Dance takes specific groups a step further from fun into creating dance from their stories.

MUSIC SET PLAYERS
Lisa, or DJ Sparkle!, has been one of a dozen amazing Conscious Dance DJs at Portland Community, since 2012. ​​Each DJ weaves in their own background to their music sets. Lisa's music arrangements, based in 5Rythms(R) 5 part flow, is inspired and influenced by her background as a JourneyDance(tm) teacher (first trained 2005), experience as a principle dancer​ with the African Carribean Steel Drum Band (started 1995) and other work she does as a Reiki Teacher, Lanscaper/Designer and Adventure Guide. Her sets and flow have a flare for World, Pop, African Tribal sounds and much more.
​
AUTHENTIC DANCE
I have always loved dance, but when I was invited to become a dancer for the African Carribbean Steel Drum Band, Mango Groove, here in NH, the true meaning of "the dance" took hold. Pan player and lead dancer, Janet, taught me authenic folk African Caribbean dances passed down over the generations. After a few years, I came across African Healing Dance. Together, these dances clearly showed me what we all have in common whether from the wilds of Africa or the suburbs of New York, a Soul Story. As a mystic poetry lover, I discovered merging Mystic Poetry and Dance to be a perfect blend. I founded DANZARA' (dan-za--ray) or Dance of Light, a method I created at Leslie University while writing my thesis on Character thru Healing Arts and the Outdoors. I practiced on Professors and teachers, and found we could unleash and weave the fabrics of their emotive stories, or Souls, so that they could then do the same for their students (2005 Wellsley College, Courage to Teach Workshop, facilitator, Chip Wood). ​
Hope to see you on the dance floor!
