PREFACE

NAMASTE!

I am Nobieh, Founder and creator of DONN!

A conscious dance system I called Dance Of No Name!

Welcome to the world of Dance Of No Name!

I am HUMAN…

I have a body, through which I share my heart songs with the world…

My DANCE is an expression of the uniqueness of my soul…

The Dance I call Dance Of No Name…

‘‘You" only can name your dance as there is only one of you in the whole world…

There is a dance in you which your soul is longing to reveal…

It is calling you to break through your limitations and introduce yourself through the unique expression of your soul using the temple of your being we call Body…

Come and join the tribe of DONN and dance your story with us…

COME JUST AS YOU ARE…

LEAVE WITH THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF!…

This is Dance Of No Name (DONN)

CHAPTER 1

Introduction

814007_DONN%20Logo_20200518.jpg

"… only when you drink from the river of Silence shall you indeed Sing,

And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb,

And when the Earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly Dance…"

Khalil Gibran

DANCE OF NO NAME IS a conscious dancing system, a combination of moving meditation in which using practical tools helps participants to release tensions and stresses of our modern life…

Participants are invited to move their bodies in their unique, awesome and unlimited ways…

Dancers in the Dance Of No Name will learn how to free themselves from all repeating patterns, judgments and mind limitations. They will experience the pure joy of moving freely in their body through discovering their authentic dance

The body which is known to be:

The temple of our soul…

Dance is the language of the soul…

We can express ourselves through dance.

There is an immense joy once we truly move our body the way our soul feels free to move…

In DONN, we use many tools to accompany our dance, such as:

Role playing, storytelling, writing, painting, and many other creative tools.

It is a therapeutic journey to unleash the hidden shadows of our soul to become our whole authentic being.

To be who we truly are without the fear of what others might think.

We become children again but with a mature mind which knows the growth is to go back to the source of our being…

To accept and love ourselves unconditionally just as we are…

It is an intimate relationship with the universe. It is a prayer to the divine.

We learn to dance our life in all its ups and downs, from the highest to the lowest, all are just great and part of our soul.

As Rumi said:

"This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.

Welcome and entertain them all!"

Dance Of No Name is based on seven forms through which we go in our journey of dance.

The seven forms are:

1. Open Space

2. Spiral

3. Breaking

4. Grounding

5. Snaking

6. Contact

7. Surrendering

Using these forms, we break through our repeating patterns and find a new way to move.

Through dance, we built a community in which we inspire each other & get inspired by one another.

We learn how to communicate with each other in a loving, safe, and supportive way.

We learn how to trust and stay grounded.

We learn a new way of living
