The Lotus Dancers
Women who share and celebrate life’s events through movement and music.
When the Lotus Dance Troupe developed in 1992, I had the task of choosing a troupe name. One that all the dancers in the group could relate to. Choosing a name that would be reflective of and embrace the diverse: styles of belly dance, dancers from all walks of life, ethnic groups, ages, sizes, beliefs, etc.
I think of humans as flowers in the garden of life. Plant life, as human life, is cyclical. It would be appropriate for the group to be named after a flower. A flower would be representative of the changing nature of the troupe, the individuality of its members and the troupe process as I have experienced it with various dance companies and troupes both Middle Eastern and Modern dance throughout the years.
A flowerbed also reflects the diversity of humanity – various shapes, colors, life cycles, symbolism and sizes. All flowers have a core or center; all are beautiful in their respective individualities. No two exactly the same yet both nourished by the earth and the sun.
The lotus flower has a special significance to me because of it’s symbolism. I chose the name Lotus Dancers and the other dancers liked the name as well. The lotus symbolizes creativity, grace, mystery, and rebirth. The lotus flower opens each day and closes each night. As humans we experience a similar cycle.
As dancers we experience creativity through exploring new ways of moving and expressing our ideas and feelings. We experience grace as we develop our movement and listening skills. We marvel at our bodies as they respond to new ideas, new movements, new sensations, we share our skills, and we continually rebirth ourselves through these awesome experiences.
Both belly dance and the lotus flower can be traced to ancient times
Members of the Lotus Dance Troupe continue to explore their personal spirits, community, and celebrate life through the arts of, but not limited to, dance and music.
