      • About Our Dances

        We sing, dance and pray together for peace within ourselves and the world.

        The Dances of Universal Peace are simple dances set to the music we create with our own voices inspired by all of the world’s religious traditions. By singing and praying in the spirit of the many spiritual traditions of the world we can help bring healing to the cultural divisions that have been for centuries driving our world to war in the name of “religion.” The Dances of Universal Peace are a spiritual practice that brings us in touch with our sacred selves in an environment that allows us to honor the sacredness in each other. When we dance face to face, we are not just dancing with the person in front of us, but also with the divine spirit that is manifested through that person.

        In January 2025, the Ithaca DUP leadership team (Cheryl, Diane & Rukmini) will return to leading the Dances at the Foundation of Light. We will offer the Dances on the first Saturday night of odd-numbered months (January, March, May, September and November) at FOL, and will continue with the first Saturday night of even-numbered months (February, April, October and December) at the First Unitarian Society in downtown Ithaca. We will take the summer months (June, July & August) off, and hope you will consider joining us for our 33rd annual Ithaca Dance Gathering from June 19th to June 22nd at the beautiful Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center in Windsor, New York. More details about our annual event will be available in the coming months.

        Please join us on Saturday, January 4th at the Foundation of Light for our first circle of 2025! Our theme will be "We Begin..." Below is our 2025 schedule.
