Anna Halprin Quotes
Movement has the capacity to take us to the home of the soul, the world within for which we have no name. Movement reaches our deepest nature, and dance creatively expresses it.

When brought forth from the inside and forged by the desire to create personal change, dance has the profound power to heal the body, psyche and soul.
