The Dances of Universal Peace (DUP) is a simple yet powerful movement practice where we come together in a sacred circle and sing songs from different spiritual traditions across the world, all while moving in meditative steps.

From the beginning of time, songs, stories and dance have brought people together in daily life, ceremonies and celebrations. Born from this timeless tradition is a simple yet powerful collective practice called the Dances of Universal Peace. Drawing on the sacred phrases of the many spiritual traditions of the world, the Dances blend singing, live music and guided meditative movement into a prayer for peace and a celebration of oneness.

The Dances are for everyone, no prior singing or dancing experience required, simply come join us with an open heart!

Kindly note: This is a non-sectarian practice
