Dance Sema Zen

An Integrative Blend of Spiritual & Scientific Practices of Sacred Dance, Yoga, Sufism, and Years of Study in Body Awareness & Transformational Energy Healing

We live in challenging times. If we can dance to experience joy, then we can fill every cell in our body with love, developing resilience and allowing ourselves to thrive. The Sufi mystic Rumi stated, “How else will you come to know the Beloved if you don’t become a lover in every cell of your body?”

The very act of learning the whirling dance, necessarily equips the participant with a tool to lovingly manage the state of their being with a style of meditation that is both mental and physical and is highly accessible.

“Dancing from this state of feeling joy in every cell, connecting to every breath and all that is, I’ve truly learnt that life is movement and I feel alive.”

What People Are Saying

Read some quotes from people who have taken Anna’s courses.

“Anna’s course opened me to that next level that I was seeking. I feel I have a much deeper understanding of my physicality and I feel much more embodied within myself. She has a way of teaching that is gentle and subtle, yet the changes I experienced within myself are profound.”
Lacy Dunham
United Kingdom
“I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety since I was a teenager, to the point that I constantly felt constricted by the weight I was carrying in my heart. Dance Sema Zen slowly helped me unravel with gentle coaxing movement into a more enlivened, in-tune, sensual version of myself. I finally feel at one in my skin and my connection to divine love has returned.”
Kerry Daily
United Kingdom
“This course has really helped me to shift my perspective. I feel more upbeat and enlivened. I used to have a tendency of feeling dull and unmotivated, now I feel more joyful and inspired in my daily life—and I can whirl!”
