I want to take you to a place of pure magic... It's the place athletes call the zone. Buddhists call satori and ravers call trance. I call it the Silver Desert. It's a place of pure light that holds the dark within it. It's a place of pure rhythm.

To shed the past, forget the future and fall into the moment feet first.
Gabrielle Roth
Image
My work is giving space - learning of its way and being in its service at the same time. We each have responsibility to express ourselves. And in this expression is the key to our healing.

Gabrielle Roth
Image
I believe in the power of motion, the wisdom of gravity, the emptiness of true love, the fact that there is no way out but through the body, no way up unless we all go together, no way down unless we follow the beat, no way in unless we embrace the dark.

Movement is my medicine, my meditation, my metaphor and my method, a living language we can rely upon to tell us the truth about who we are, who we are with, and where we are going. There is no dogma in the dance.
Gabrielle Roth
Image
Our soul, our true self, is the most mysterious, essential, and magical dimension of our being. In fact, it is not a separate reality, as traditional Western thought views it, but the cohesive force that unites our body, heart, and mind. It is not a ghost trapped somehow in the physical machinery of our body but the very essence of our being.

Mine is the art of inspiring people to turn themselves inside out, transform their suffering into art, their art into awareness and their awareness into action
Gabrielle Roth
Image
Your body is the ground metaphor of your life, the expression of your existence. It is your Bible, your encyclopaedia, your life story.
Gabrielle Roth
Image
Between the head and feet of any given person is a billion miles of unexplored wilderness.
Gabrielle Roth
Image
To sweat is to pray, to make an offering of your innermost self. Sweat is holy water, prayer beads, pearls of liquid that release your past. The more you dance... the more you sweat, the more you pray. The more you pray, the closer you are to ecstasy.
