To sing with presence and passion is to be still within the movement of relationship. This is inspired by opening to the song in your heart, in the spirit of the shared dance - and within the trust that you have opened to and allowed to grow within yourself and with the dancers.
A willingness to be transparent to the music that comes forth and an acceptance of the Mover of hearts, minds and bodies as being by invitation and acceptance - and not by means of coercion.
These resources are offered to help us share live music and dance together.
My first priority in making them available is a practical resource for playing and dancing.
The Lyrics listed here also serve to indicate my current live repertoire as a Singer/Teacher for Live dance. You can download this list as a pdf file. Right click and select approprate command to download rather than view in browser. Download

For any musician wanting a collection of circle dance music notation and arrangements you are well advised to contact Stefan Freedman for Moving Centre. More Info HERE. Also Mandy DeWinter's Music Books HERE
