Dance
styles in “Night of the Goddess” incorporated ancient
and classical, modern, and folkloric influences for aficionados of
these dramatically different styles, world music fans, and members
of Atlanta’s diverse dance community.
Asha,
showcase organizer and an Atlanta pioneer in sacred dance, belly
dance, and Bollywood fusion said “Night of the Goddess” was
a chance to sample the rich diversity of styles in dance and music
available in the Atlanta area.
“A lot of people don’t realize how
many talented ethnic performers live here,” she said. “Atlanta
has grown so much, and there are so many different talents and influences
to explore.”
Asha chose
the theme of giving honor to the Goddess “because She is described
in all the ancient cultures as the Creative Force and Sustainer of
Earth’s bountiful resources.”
“In the past, I have performed at many cancer
benefits,” Asha said, “and was always glad I did. But
after researching more on the causes of disease, I decided to do
a "disease preventive" benefit, to educate people about
eliminating the causes of disease and this includes having nutritional
foods that have the essential properties to heal us.”
Proceeds
from this performance went to benefit the Natural Solutions Foundation,
a non-profit organization to raise awareness about how to protect
the right to natural foods, such as non-GMO, non-irradiated, and
chemical-free fruits, vegetables and grains. Proceeds also went
to support its local supporting chapter, SelfCareFreedom, Inc.
