Quimera Ritual Dance

07/25/2025

Today and tomorrow, Quimera Ritual Dance takes to the stage in Las Vegas once again!

We are thankful to be bringing the transformative healing powers of dance to be witnessed and experienced.

The process of preparing for the performances is deeply meaningful and heartfelt. In addition to the fun and excitement of being together and sharing, is the transformational experience of co-creating and channeling raw human emotions.

See you on the other side!

Just once a year, Quimera opens the gateway for the public to experience our very private rituals and way of holding the container for dancing priestesses. This is an introduction to the way of Quimera. If you have ever wanted to join a community of women, all dedicated to being the best version of themselves, and inviting that through the language of dance as ritual performance, we are a really good place for you to explore what that kind of community feels like.

We are just over a decade old now, and holding this community of dancing priestesses as we each grow and become better versions of ourselves. There’s really nothing like walking through life with people you know you can count on, who understand what it means to work to be the best version of yourself, and to share the passion to use the rituals of dance to heal themselves and those who witness.

If you are called to this kind of work and community, this once a year workshop is your opportunity to experience who we are and what we do.

In October, we open the gateway for people to join our community in a year long initiation in which you will learn the methods, rituals, ceremonies, performances, and many tools for becoming the best version of you within a community that supports you in that goal.

Last week, Quimera gathered for our annual ceremonial dance retreat. During this time, we seclude ourselves from the outside world with an aim to silence the noise, bond as a group, and dive deeply into the truth of who we are.

Here we face our fears together and offer support to become the best version of ourselves.

It’s also when our founder and Master Teacher extraordinaire trains us intensely for our dance repertoire, and at the end of the week, we host a public concert!

The journey we each experience is a challenge (by design), to help us see past illusions and embrace the ALL!
Here’s to another glorious year of Quimera Ritual Dance, wielding Shamanic Fusion Dance and Quimera Method across the globe!

Quimera Ritual Dance congratulates and welcomes 7 newly ordained priestesses who carry the medicine of movement out into our worlds! 💕✨🌚

Each of them completed a full year of continuous training, in both self development and shamanic fusion dance, by way of Quimera Method.

Deep admiration and gratitude for the teachers this year and for the support all year long!!!

As part of initiation, we take an oath to ourselves to be the best we can be. To surround ourselves with those who align with our values. To squash drama and gossip, and give the benefit of the doubt. To do the hard work of seeing through fear, separateness and illusion, each and every day of our lives. To work towards the betterment of our community and of the planet.

As we move through our days, let us remember that each person experiences their version of suffering.
Each person seeks love and acceptance.
Each person has the capacity to change and heal.

As we go forth, the priestesses and new initiates of Quimera strive to demonstrate the gifts that compassion, resilience and forgiveness may bestow upon our fellow humans and animals.
Blessed be.
