This
visionary dance we call “Enlightenment Through Dance” was created by Rosane
Gibson, or “Hozuhni”, as we call her, with a mission: to awaken the dancer
within, to have fun, to exercise, to embrace the art of fusion
dance that is always evolving and changing and to promote wellness,
friendship, personal growth and health in all aspects including mental,
physical and spiritual through the Art of Dancing; As we dance, we look to
improving the quality of life and to create a space where acceptance,
respect for the uniqueness for every human can gently and lovingly unfold.

Enlightenment Through Dance PRESENTS:
PART ONE
1 – SLEEPING BEAUTY ENLIGHTENING JOURNEY - by The Enlightenment Through Dancers - This performance tells the story of Lynda Waters joining
Enlightenment Through Dance with the intent of bringing out all the memories of
profound moments Lynda and us created and shared together either in
class, on the stage or in life. We invite you to come along with us as
you watch this performance and let your mind swirl upon all those
heartful moments you and Lynda have shared together.
2 – THE PRINCE - by Zhor (Andrew Guilfoil) -
In this number, Zhor is the Prince
who looks for the Princess and the dance is an interpretation of that
part of us that knows what we inherently want,
and moves into bringing our ideas and dreams into fruition.
3 - LYNDA LYNDA LYNDA !!! - By Sheri Deliman (Enlightenment Through Dancer
Kailani) - The word " lYnda" in Spanish means "beautiful" and that is
what Lynda really is! Lynda is beautiful inside and out! This playful
performance tells the story of how our beautiful Lynda is also aware of
the beauty in every day life.
4 – DANCES TO AWAKEN THE
PRINCESS - by The American Bellydance Studio Harem and Kadayif - When
the fair Lynda fell into a deep sleep a cry went out to all the lands in
Bellydancedome/the Kingdom calling for love, well wishes and prayers in
hopes something would awaken the lovely Princess from her deep sleep.
The fairest maidens of the Kingdom came to dance for her hoping to
awaken her and return her to her former self, each giving their love and
energy to the sleeping Princess through their dance. This dance
represents the spirit trying to escape and fly after being
suppressed/injured.
5 - THE GODDESS WITHIN - by Rosane Gibson - (Enlightenment Through Dancer
Hozuhni) - The intention in this dance is to tune up with Lynda’s
Goddess-like mind, sending her love, support and understanding for her
experience of being in coma. Empowering Lynda’s deepest desired
intention: IT’S ALL GOOD! We let go of worries and trust that something
much higher than we could possibly envision is at work right now.

PART TWO
6– A DANCE OF LIFE - by Zhor & Hozuhni - this performance describes
the yin & yang aspects of
life, day and night, male and female, asleep and awake, hello
and good-bye, beginning and end, up and down. Moments for reflection, as
Lynda would say: "IT'S ALL GOOD!!"
7- SLEEPING BEAUTY and THE PRINCE – By the Enlightenment Through Dancers and
Zhor - The Prince looks for the Princess and when he finds her, she
wakes her up from a long
dream. This heartful performance is a dance meditation
for all of us looking for the “Inner Princess”, a message that
everything is possible, as we allow the Universe to manifest itself
through Individuality. This performance is a message of “trust”, a
metaphor for life that engages our deepest wishes of dreams to manifest
and come true. A tribute to Lynda, as we trust Lynda's state is a
reminder for all of us to awaken from our own sleep.
8- BREATHE - by Kimberly Hanson (Enlightenment Through Dancer Supryia) - This
performance conveys feelings of not always having all the answers ready
from our mind, and trust our intuitive side. To know what is
right and to go with the moment, as it manifests, just like a leaf
follows a path, as it is carried by the waters of a stream. Sometimes
the answers to life's toughest questions are carried in the soft breeze
we feel against our skin...and the air that we breathe in and out of our
bodies...
9 -
PAINFUL MEMORIES OF REALITY - By Kadayif. The Lovely Princess has not
awakened. The many who knew her and have heard of her goodness recall
the wonderfulness of her spirit and life and try to push the image of
what has happened to our lovely Princess away from their memories--but
reality is a cruel Mistress. They can't forget she has not awakened and
they know not if she will. This dance represents human natures battle
with what they wish was reality and reality itself. The double fans
represent each side of our thoughts--what we want to be reality and what
actually is reality.
10 – LYNDA'S ESSENCE: The
BellyDancing-ScubaDiving-BikerChick - by Robin Rogers -
(Enlightenment Through Dancer Kusha). The intent of this song is to express
the wild and creative side of Lynda. The side that says: - "If I
want to be a bellydancing-scuba diving-biker chick..I will. No more
chains! No more kissing the feet that kick me, I will throw my hands
to the wind and sail the wings of butterflies. Sit back,
enjoy the ride and yell HEY - HEY...It's all good."
11 - GREAT FINALE - Enlightenment Through Dance Caravan - A Gypsy performance
that will bring our attention to the present moment, where wisdom
resides. Dancing like a Gypsy, reconnecting with life and celebrating,
something we all have learned from Lynda's passion for life!
