Original Dances of Samuel L. Lewis

 

This list is not exhaustive, but includes the most commonly done, completed Dances. Murshid also left several incomplete Dances and Dance-sketches--such as "The Moon Dance of the Goddess Isis," which await completion by an inspired person. Many of these Dances are included in the booklet and tape/cd set Original Dances of Universal Peace of Murshid Samuel L. Lewis. The rest may be found in the 1980 edition of the Teachers Dance Manual.
