Lucia’s dance tells a story of women’s dances of the Orient, along the silk road, of traditions continuously evolving, whilst preserving an ancient language. Lucia embraces a rich diversity of dance styles, cultures and traditions, each dance telling its own unique story, rich in expression, tradition and wisdom. Dance is a universal language, a spiritual expression, a way of connecting to the divine, to our selves and to others. Dance brings us closer together.

All symbols of the old matrifocal religion remain hidden but not lost to us, the divine whispers her wisdom, which sleeps within our unconscious mind. The ancient symbol of the spider, is connected to the taranta traditions of southern Italy another form to represent the Great Mother, so why is it that so many of us fear spiders??? Centuries of conditioning still effects us today… The spider like women create the universe from their centre, spinning something from nothing, right out of their belly. This knowlege in preserved in the tradition of la Taranta.
