A Journey into the Songs, Nature Sounds & Rhythms of Arctic Siberia
Step into the ancient heartbeat of Arctic Siberia. Guided by world-renowned artist and cultural representative Snow Raven (SUOR), Arctic Dance invites you to explore the traditional songs, movement practices, and animal embodiments of the Indigenous Sakha people.

Through playful guidance, storytelling, and live vocal transmissions, you’ll learn to move like the Arctic animals, sound with the land, and reconnect to the primal rhythms within. This is not just dance—it's an awakening of instinct, intuition, and ancestral memory.

Together, we will:
•⁠ ⁠Learn traditional Sakha songs and rhythmic patterns
•⁠ ⁠Explore animal-inspired movement rooted in Arctic cosmology
•⁠ ⁠Activate the inner spiral—the life force that lives in the body
•⁠ ⁠Express freely through sound, breath, and embodied storytelling
•⁠ ⁠Reconnect with nature, presence, and the intelligence of the Earth

No dance experience required—just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to move.
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and be ready to stretch, shake, crawl, soar, and sing. Expect to move, laugh, release, and rediscover the joy of being fully alive.

Return home feeling grounded, energized, wild, and deeply connected to your inner spirit.
