Soma, derived from the Greek word for "body," refers to our "intelligent body", our neurological network, which plays a far greater role in our well-being than we often realize.

Dharma is a foundational concept in Buddhism, Hinduism, and yogic traditions, referring to the laws or principles that govern the Universe. "Dancing the Dharma" means moving in harmony with the dance of life, embracing both the Universe and the spirituality of our body. Many movement artists engage in this Buddhist and yogic-inspired embodied practice, using movement as a means of self-discovery and transformation.
