Taste of a rich Khaita weekend in Venice: a warm and joyful gathering of new and senior teachers and other practitioners who love the Joyful Dances.
We reviewed some slightly more complex but beautiful dances that we worked on a lot in the past with Rinpoche. The Master’s presence and light accompanied us during the weekend, like a warm and bright caress on our hearts.
The meeting was interspersed with enjoyable moments strolling around the city, in pizzerias and local ‘bacari,’ accompanied by our native guides.

The supervision and exam for the students of the first cycle of Khaita Educational Program took place on April 17–19 in Dzamling Gar, Tenerife.
Examinees explained simple and complex dances, shared their understanding of Khaita principles, knowledge of its history, goals and other aspects, and explained the basic Khaita movements.
The final task was to study and perform together a dance with complex choreography, Tashi Thogang Nyiwod (བཀྲ་ཤིས་མཐོ་སྒང་ཉི་འོད།, Auspicious Highland Sunshine), which was especially challenging due to the students living in different countries. We performed the dance on the graduation ceremony.
Newly graduated instructors Eva Leick and Martina Krejčová share sharing their impressions and a story of intensive preparation and successful passing of the exam in The Mirror article.

With the Khaita project Prof. Chögyal Namkhai Norbu planted a precious seed that we, all together, can take care of, develop and make blossom if more of us acquire a deep understanding and a good knowledge of it. Thus, a beautiful tree can manifest and its flowers can bloom for the benefit of all human beings…

Khaita Course in Venice, October 21-22
𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗝𝗢𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗡𝗚!
with Adriana Dal Borgo
This class is suitable for everyone: we will find out what Khaita Joyful Dances are, learn together the basic steps and some simple circle dances.
Khaita means “Harmony in Space”: the goal is to promote harmony through dance, in the individual, in the group and also with the environment around us.
The Khaita Dances were developed by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu together with his students based on modern songs performed by young Tibetan artists.
These dances are engaging and easy to learn. Requiring no special skills, they are suitable for people of all ages and even those unfamiliar with music and dance.
The choreographies, based on interaction and recognition of one’s own and others’ space, promote openness to others and collaboration. They entertain, strengthen the body and educate to move in harmony in space and time.
Joyful Khaita Dances are a great way to relax from the tensions of daily life.
