While dancing, we learn to be present to the inner display of thoughts and emotions. As we cultivate this relaxed presence in movement, harmony and joy develop naturally. This continues in our life, moving more easily through our routines, activities and daily tasks.

“It’s better to live in melody… if we dance and sing we feel more joyful and we can also relax”

Link to the short biography of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu
Chögyal Namkhai Norbu has worked constantly and with great commitment since 2011, gathering danceable music and group dances that are easy to learn. This collection has been inspired by his culture which is the base while the themes of the music are expressed with choreographies elaborated by dancers from different cultural backgrounds. The themes represent values to which all peoples and countries aspire, as messages of brotherhood, joy, respect and tolerance. These values can be understood not only through the words of the songs, but through the choreography, the movements and the gestures. They reflect the principles fostered by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu and the International Dzogchen Community.

One of the aims of this immense work of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu was the preservation of Tibetan culture and language. However, was original and decidedly innovative the use of music and dance as a contemplative practice, as a tool to discover a relaxed and joyful state and as a form of training for presence and awareness. Khaita songs and Joyful Dances show us the way to a relaxed collaboration, the way to be together with awareness and respect for each other’s space. For more detail please watch the video.
