Ruth St. Denis, modern dance pioneer, is known as the ‘‘grandmother’’ of the Dances of Universal Peace. Mystic, poet and artist, she dedicated her life to embodying the divine through sacred dance. Samuel Lewis said, ‘‘Ruth St. Denis has the faculty of drawing music and dance right out of the cosmos, out of the heart of God. She taught me this faculty.’’

Black and White Photo of Murshid Samuel L. Lewis

The originator of the Dances of Universal Peace was Murshid Samuel Lewis. A life-long seeker, he studied and mastered many spiritual paths, and was the first American-born Sufi master. Committed to world peace through exchanges in the arts and agriculture, he was a ‘‘citizen diplomat’’ long before the phrase was invented. ‘‘Eat, Dance and Pray Together’’ was his peace plan. In his writings and teaching talks, he especially credits two of his teachers, Hazrat Inayat Khan and Ruth St. Denis, for their influence on him as the Dances began to ‘‘come to and through’’ him.
