"The  embodied spiritual
practice of turning rooted
in Sufi ritual and movement
creates connection to the
rotation of the earth
and the still center of the heart.
 "
​
~ Miriam Peretz
Miriam Peretz is an internationally-acclaimed performing artist specializing in dance from the Silk Road and Middle East and creator of Nava Dance,  a holistic movement practice rooted in ritual and inspired by circles, spirals and cycles to awaken the highest potential of self.   

A healing art, the focus of Nava is the embodiment of prayers and intentions — like humi
lity, compassion, and generosity —  through movement.   Her monthly outdoor Dance Sanctuaries are performed with live musical accompaniment and the sounds of the wind, birds, trees and waters.

​I'm most interested  blurring the lines between audience and performer, creating ritualistic dance art,
and working with cross cultural,
cross religious, devotional themes.
 
~ Miriam Peretz

​Born in Israel, Miriam has been a principal dancer with Inbal Ethnic Dance Theater (Tel Aviv) as well as Wan Chao Chang Dance Company (Bay Area,) Aywah (Bay Area) and has served as assistant Artistic Director of Ballet Afsaneh (Bay Area) for five years where she has  principal dancer, choreographer, and lead instructor for over a decade, and was soloist twice for the highly acclaimed San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival June 2005, and again June, 2008.  Miriam has studied with master teachers from around the world including Tajikistan, Spain, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, and Israel.
