"...SAVED MY LIFE"
" Dance Saved my life"
A Zumba fitness teacher/guru, who had an immobilizing disease, healed herself with dance.
Years ago, she could not even get dressed by herself or even brush her teeth without help and today she teaches daily classes with over 100 participants, - the biggest Zumba classe in the USA!
She healed her disease by dancing. This is such an empowering story...it changed my own perspective about pain and disease.
Each show is about a different individual telling and showing us what saved their life.
There are many examples of dance, music, animals and other “healing powers”.
