What is PADHA?

PADHA is a full intensive professional dance and healing program – The initials PADHA mean Proficiency in Advanced Dance and Healing Arts – and PADHA in Greek, pronounced as panta means always and forever. The initiative of this program was after the many years of enquiring about the current dance studies and development in dance artistry we are experiencing. The question is on what and how can dance offer to the world nowadays that we are experiencing rapid changes in all different aspects of life.

The PADHA program aims to bring a sustainable and long-lasting training to new inspiring dance teachers, performers, choreographers and somatic practitioners who can in turn develop and enhance the dance industry in the 21st Century.

The main focal point in the PADHA program is the holistic integration of diverse disciplines and modalities so as to offer a greater embodied and integrative practice in body, mind, heart and spirit through dance, somatics and healing.

The course is specifically designed for the dance artists who wish to discover dance artistry as a holistic dance and healing practice and contribute in the well-being of all dancers and educators.
