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.

- simply greatly improve their Khaita dancing skills
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.

Days of Tibetan dances in Naples
Days of Tibetan Dances in Naples
October 14-15, 2023
𝗧𝗢 𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗗 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗬. The Khaita Joyful Dances, inspired by Tibetan culture, came to Napoli on Saturday and Sunday, October 14 and 15, 2023.
These were two opportunities to learn the basic steps and begin a journey in search of balance, both psychophysical and with the world outside. This project, promoted by the International Atiyoga Foundation, was hosted on Saturday by the Museo Nitsch, while on Sunday, it was held at Vomero, in the pedestrian area of Piazza degli Artisti.
Questa mattina in Piazza degli Artisti con l’iniziativa Kaita danze gioiose per promuovere la cultura tibetana promossa da International Atiyoga Foundation dopo essere stata presente anche nel Museo Nitsch sabato 14 ottobre .
Con Adriana Dal Borgo, insegnante di gioiose danze Khaita abbiamo appreso attraverso passi di danza che il nodo infinito è una linea continua intrecciata che non si interrompe mai. Questo nodo è inscritto in un cerchio, che rappresenta appunto il nostro pianeta. Non ci può essere armonia senza rispetto, e il rispetto per se stessi e per gli altri non può prescindere dal rispetto per la natura perché siamo parte di essa.
Namdeling, centro napoletano della Comunità Dzogchen Internazionale che diffonde a Napoli la cultura tibetana propone una nuova modalità di rispondere alla complessità delle nostre vite suggerendoci di riscoprire, come è uso fare in Tibet, il piacere del movimento gioioso attraverso la danza e il canto. Le danze gioiose aiutano a scoprire la gioia di essere insieme, di muoversi con gli altri in armonia, di rispondere agli insulti del vivere con un atteggiamento rilassato e positivo, così da portare poi gioia nella vita quotidiana e nelle nostre relazioni
Il progetto è rivolto soprattutto ai giovani in una chiave di educazione alle emozioni e alla consapevolezza, coltivando il benessere corporeo e psichico e la collaborazione come modello alternativo alla competizione. Ringrazio la comunità Namdeling e Chiara Tortorelli perché attraverso il progetto presentato e patrocinato dalla Municipalita 5 con la Presidente Clementina Cozzolino e l’Assessore Claudio D’Angelo si cerca di apportare nuovi modelli di approccio alla vita attraverso passi di danza che aiutano a liberare energia positiva e un un clima di serenità a sconfiggere la monotonia e lo stress regalando ai territori un maggiore equilibrio

“Three villages on the slopes of Monte Amiata, where Merigar is situated, opened their doors to the Joyful Dances as part of initiatives to promote a culture of territory and environment: Monticello, a small village where 42 different ethnic groups live together, extended an invitation to participate in the local ethnic festival; Salaiola, during the annual Moon Festival, where workshops and demonstrations of various arts and disciplines take place; Abbadia San Salvatore dedicated an entire day to children with Khaita, Kumar Kumari and other activities aimed at discovering nature during the Eco Festival.”
