Tuition

Instructor

Banafsheh Sayyad is a master Persian sacred dancer, choreographer, activist and founder of Dance of OnenessĀ®. With an MFA in Dance & Choreography and an MA in Chinese Medicine, she is a deeply profound and highly accessible spiritual teacher of embodiment, dedicated to individual and collective healing through dance. Banafsheh performs and teaches internationally, initiating people into the wisdom of their bodies. Her signature style of holy wildness ignites transformation and illumination in all those who dance with her from around the globe. Her easeful instruction and welcoming spirit empowers students from all stages of life to feel a true sense of belonging in their bodies and passion in their lives, by integrating wisdom teachings.

Dance of OnenessĀ® is the dance I had been waiting to do all my life. From a young age I had danced, read watched and followed Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, Joffery Ballet, Margie Gillis, Gabriel Roth and many more than I can name that moved in a way that spoke to me. Dance of OnenessĀ® is the culmination of all that I had been drawn to in the other dance forms which seemed to be missing the main ingredient. Banafsheh has found the missing thread which is the opening to the Beloved, to truly give yourself in movement to the Divine energy that resides and moves through all of us from the Earth and the Heavens. I felt that for the first time in our dancing. It also reintroduced me to my own body, allowed me to accept my imperfections and for the first time in years swim naked in the ocean. All of this and more.

Transformative! Banafsheh skillfully takes us step by step to an experience of dance that brings me deeper into my body, to peace, feeling grounded and open to beauty and to love. Most importantly for me, the process brought me to experience a lovingness toward myself. I appreciate her presence of gentleness and fierce passion, and I’m inspired to bring my best self into my world.
