The public is invited to the group singing and circle dancing experience that is the Dances of Universal Peace with Music that Makes Community on Saturday evening, October 11, 2025 from 6:30-8 pm. at the Norbertine Abbey in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  

The Dances of Universal Peace are group spiritual practices in motion and song.  Drawing on the sacred phrases, scripture, and poetry of many spiritual traditions of the earth, the Dances blend chant, live music, and evocative movement into a living experience of unity, peace, and integration.  No partners or previous dance experiences necessary.  All chants and movements will be taught; personal adaptations are encouraged for your body's capabilities.  Explore more at https://dupna.org/, the website for the North American region of the Dances of Universal Peace (DUP).  

Leaders for this evening of Dances of Universal Peace are certified dance leaders Suzy Derby from the local Albuquerque* Dances of Universal Peace circle and Music that Makes Community’s Executive Director Conie Borchardt.  

This public event is offered as a free-will offering with a suggested donation of $5-20 per person, with no person turned away due to lack of funds.
