Dancing The Body Sacred

Welcome

Thank you for visiting my site. I am an artist/scholar whose life journey has been focused on listening to the wisdom of the body through sacred dance, music, ritual, yoga, and meditation. I am immensely grateful to have had the opportunity to explore movement and spirituality through world travels engaging with many local indigenous and cultural communities and to have had many wonderful teachers and mentors. Now in the “third act” of my life, having spent most of it in constant motion, I embrace stillness and the profound silence of the inner world of the Divine Self in meditation and contemplation. I hope you can spend some time with me in shared journeys with my videos, books, and workshops. Below is a summary of my career as a performing artist/scholar.

"Ensemble Director Andrea Mantell-Seidel’s performance in “Mother” showed why she remains one of the best Duncan-style dancers. Watching her was like watching the history of dance unfold…" Tampa Tribune

This is me.

Dancer - Author - Scholar

Let me tell you a story of a dancer embracing motion, a writer finding the light, and a life’s journey of passion still unfolding.

This is my path, my journey, and I hope you will join with me in Becoming. Perhaps the celestial music of the spheres will also lead you to where and who you were meant to be.
