Tantric Buddhist Dances

The 8th century "Offering Dance of the Sixteen Goddesses" and Arya Tara, the "Dance of Green Tara" are exquisitely beautiful meditative dances from Kathmandu, Nepal. In the past they were only learned and performed by Tantric Buddhist priests. They bring peace to the dancers and to those who watch. Zena has an Honorary Doctorate of Dance from India.
