	For ancient Chinese sages, it has been known for thousands of years that all energy moves in one of the five universal rhythms. In this workshop, through movement and dance within these elements, we will sort out which of these rhythms dominates our lives.   We will discover the fundamental steps to express ourselves freely and dance to our own unique soul story. The exploration of our own rhythms withint he Five Elements will touch upon the strength of Earth, the aliveness of Fire,the fluidity of Water, the Solidarity of Wood and the Clarity of Metal.

	"I wanted to express what a wonderful time I had again in you and Dondi's workshop. The drum circle was a lot of fun! I'm glad we got to do that! I am so happy to have found you both! Titanya, I love hearing your stories- you both are so bright and vibrant and it's a pleasure learning from and sharing with you!'        Thank you!!!   Victoria
	Dondi and Titanya Dahlin have been studying The ancient Five elements for the last 10 years with their mother, Donna Eden (author of Energy Medicine and International Healer).    They have found a unique niche, as they  blend the Middle Eastern dance and movement with the studies of the Chinese Five Elements. Are you drawn to the veil dance or to drum solos more?  Are you more of a leader or teacher in your community or do you like being a student, taking the back seat? Is your partner quiet and introverted or loud and social...does it conflict with your relationship at times?  These are all questions that we consider and dance towards in our week of exploration.  Not only will you get a full rounded experience of the middle eastern dance, it's history and technique, you will also come away with knowing and learning a little bit about your world, your path in life and people who are in it.  Intriqued?
