This multi-faith group has danced in Toledo for many years, most recently in our own beautiful sanctuary. Join the dance on the third Tuesday of the month at 6 pm. The group dances for about an hour, then shares light refreshments. No partner nor experience is needed; all are welcome.
Leader Judy Trautman notes that these dances were created by Samuel Lewis in the 1960s and are now danced all over the world. They are moving meditations set to music from the world’s faith traditions, with movements reflecting folk and modern dance. Come, join the dance and make new friends from across northwest Ohio.
