The supervision and exam for the students of the first cycle of Khaita Educational Program took place on April 1719 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

Workshop in Lima, Peru

Workshop in Lima, Peru

September 30, October 8

On September 30th and October 8th we were very happy to organize, with the support of Peruvian Gakyil and Dzogchen Community, two public presentations of Khaita and Vajra Dance in Lima, Peru. Both of them were wonderful occasions for practitioners to remember the joy of dancing and being together, as we lost our renting place in the pandemia. Also it was so nice how people in the street wanted to participate and try for the first time. It was a very relaxing and joyful experience for everyone!
