Introduction
The desire to move beyond our perceived limitations is a birthright. Transcendental experience is a gift from our ancestors that is encoded in our DNA. The Natale Trance Dance presents a unique opportunity to celebrate transcendence as we explore and reconnect with the intelligence of our higher spiritual self.
I met Frank Natale in 1986 and was immediately inspired by his wisdom, clarity and humor. The choice to think and personal responsibility – our thoughts create our reality
– were foundational to Frank’s teaching approach. Natale workshops and events provided extensive information. Frank was masterful at creating transformational healing experiences involving breath work, percussion and his Om Bilateral Alignment tracks that moved participants in profound and joyful ways. Afterward the typical responses were: Wow. Unbelievable. Wonderful.
The combination of breath, music and movement drove these experiences beyond belief. We did not use the term trance dance
until a few years later.
It is beneficial for Natale Trance Dance presenters to understand the origin and context. In late 1987 Frank moved to Amsterdam where he was encouraged by the European fascination with Native American wisdom and shamanism. This renewed Frank’s interest in long form dance experience that began some twenty years earlier when Frank and 5Rhythms creator Gabrielle Roth became friends at The Esalen Institute in Big Sur where they met and shared their love of music and dance.
In Europe Frank collaborated with musicians and created his first dedicated tracks for the trance experience. The Trance Dance
cassette tape arrived at my home in California with no instructions other than to listen and do the breath of fire technique. So, that is exactly what I did. Afterward I sent Frank a fax message: I love the music. The experience was mind-bending, intense and illuminating. It took me ten minutes to get off the couch. I could hardly walk.
Frank telephoned early the next morning and laughed aloud. You need to get off the couch and get moving,
he said. Trance Dance is all about allowing the breath and music to move you.
We both laughed. We definitely need instructions,
I offered. You must write a book.
Frank produced a series of albums: Trance Dance, Kissed by Lightening, Trance Dance 1 and 2, Dancers of Eternity and then Shaman’s Breath, released by Island Records. And he wrote the book Trance Dance, The Dance of Life. The Medicine Trance double album featured six long form tracks. Next, the Rites of Passage album presented thematic tracks that express the inevitable passages in the circle of life. All of these tracks are available on popular digital music platforms and used in Natale Trance Dance events in Europe, the United States and Australia.
In 1996 Wilbert Alix invited me to participate in his Trance Dance training retreat near Austin, Texas. It was an honor to assist Wilbert and the dancers through those energized days and nights and to tend our completion ritual fire. I have presented the Trance Dance experience for almost twenty
