Dayanisma's Blog: Behind the Bindi

Hello! 
Welcome to Dayanisma’s blog, Behind the Bindi.
My name is Dawn Ruckert, creative director of Dayanisma, an ATS® dance troupe. Several years ago, because of my passion for ATS® and group improvisation, I created this troupe to share our art with the world. 
I wanted to challenge myself and others by creating a professional troupe whose goals were to be not only skillful and amazing dancers, but also to share my tenets for life and dance: respect, love, support, and growth. In this journey, I am currently joined by seven amazing ladies: Lisa Allred, MJ Wu, Patti Beaman, Natalie Lavorato, Karen Hoover, Sharon Walker and Teresa Kesselman.
Dayanisma has performed across the country for countless audiences, including those at TribalCon, ATS® Homecoming, Tribal Fest, and Tribal Union. This fall, we are honored and excited to perform at NEATS Camp and the Black Forest Tribal Fest in Germany . We also host the annual event, ATS® ATTACKS, every August.
Both on and off stage, we strive to be “Ambassadors of Dance.” This means acting in a professional manner, supporting fellow dancers of all levels, being kind and supportive, and, most importantly, representing the troupe in a way where people find us fun, approachable, and focused on creating a supportive dance community for future generations.
The purpose of this blog, in step with our mission of being Ambassadors of Dance, is to educate and inform our fans by sharing informative and inspirational articles, and also to help you laugh and love this wonderful thing we call dance.
Many blessing and love,
Dawn
