Let’s dance the joy and the pain both. Dance to get real and dance to fly.
Let’s dance to embrace ourselves, embrace others and embrace what is.
On the Path of the Dancer, learn to root lovingly in the Earth and center yourself while building resilience through your nervous system so you can respond to life’s ups and downs with grace.
Will you join me in uncovering the secrets of dance to live your full potential?

What People Are Saying
Inside Path of the Dancer
What does it mean to dance consciously in these times of chaos and uncertainty? Join me to explore the power and the gift of dance to transform your neurobiology, free yourself of the old stories that keep you in limitation so you can infuse yourself with the energy of the infinite, of possibility, of love, and channel this energy to where there is a need whether it is in yourself or for someone else, the environment or conditions around us.
Path of the Dancer is a transformational journey into self-realization through embodiment and creativity with over 13 hours of self-paced free-style and guided dance from the sacred arts curriculum of Dance of Oneness®: a fusion of Flamenco, Persian Dance, Middle Eastern Tribal Dances, Sama (whirling), Tai Chi, Sufi teachings, Sacred Feminine Wisdom and moving with deep awareness of the pathways of energy in the body, including the Chakras and Meridians.
The dance will initiate you into the wisdom of your body, integrating and unifying the myriad of fragments within you into a conscious coherence. Forever transformed, you will have a deep sense of belonging, well-being and wholeness in your own skin.
In this unique and accessible immersion, Banafsheh offers to the dancer in us all immediately applicable and empirically proven tools of embodiment and dance, ancient wisdom and profound mysticism to use in our daily lives. She eloquently weaves in present day discoveries and research in quantum physics and neuroscience from the West with roots steeped in wisdom teachings from the East, including the mystical poetry of Rumi, Kabir and others.

Certification: This Immersion is a foundational Dance of Oneness® Course and fulfills 13 hours of the 200-hr Dance of Oneness® Certification Program.
MODULE I: Grounded Flight
We begin our Path of the Dancer Immersion in reverence to life and cultivating kindness to ourselves and others as the main technique of this dance form. In this Module, we explore 2 fundamental principles of Dance of Oneness®: 1. Ground and root lovingly in the Earth. 2. Experience our body as a channel. Both principles are about surrendering the idea that we are separate from the Earth and from Spirit, the all encompassing energy that permeates the entire universe, and need to rely on our own individual power in order to act. The dance reveals to us that the more we release our sense of separateness and connect with the Earth and the more we open and allow Spirit or energy to move in us and through us, the more we access power and strength and the freer we feel, less taken we are by challenges in our life. This Module leaves us with a transformational experience of letting go of what is not serving us and a renewed dedication to our freedom and creativity.
MODULE II: Center in Sovereignty
In this empowering Module, we continue to build on the fundamental grounding techniques and begin cultivating a deep presence and sense of balance, ease and comfort in our own skin. This foundation becomes our base for accessing our core. The more we feel self-worth and embrace ourselves exactly as we are, the more we can access our core, our center and cultivate a true sense of sovereignty in our body and transform what doesn’t serve us and the greater through us. In this Module, we learn another fundamental principle of Dance of Oneness®: Let your movements emanate from your center.
MODULE III: Blossom and Open Your Heart
This mystical and enlivening Module anchors us in our heart and connects us deeply to the energy of gratitude. Building on the deep yet invigorating journey of the 2 previous Modules, we open our heart, the gateway to the infinite and ignite the power of love through moving in sacred geometric shapes and patterns: circles, waves and weaves. Banafsheh guides us into the sacred geometry of our body as we dance the infinity symbol to life and integrate our body, heart and mind into a harmonious resonance. In this Module, Banafsheh also leads us into heart coherence meditation as well as a movement sequences leading us into experiencing the toroidal field of our body bringing us absolute bliss!
Module IV: Step into Beauty as a Dancing Creator
We learn the sacred dance of Sama (whirling) and enter into the spin that is more and more understood as the fundamental dynamics of everything in the universe. We also explore moving in spirals and dancing with veils. The practices in this Module open us to how have the power in every moment to choose how we feel and how we show up in the world. Our choices matter in our own life and in the lives we affect all around us. The practices remind us of the sanctity of life and inspire us to “let the beauty we love be what we do” (Rumi) and reignite our dedication to creating beauty through loving and listening to the intuitive wisdom of our body temple. We review the simple and accessible wisdom tools cultivated throughout this Immersion and how to apply the skills we cultivated through the Path of the Dancer to the Path of our Everyday Life, so we can live our life as a sacred dance – thrilling, illuminating, compassionate, loving and of service to Beauty, Truth and Goodness.
