| Foundation Dances, Walks Manual and CD Set What is the Foundation Dances and Walks Manual?
What is the Foundation Dances and Walks Manual? The Foundation Dances and Walks Manual (hereafter referred to as the “FDM”) is a compilation of 101 mantric Dances of Universal Peace inspired by many spiritual traditions. The collection includes 23 of the original Dances of Murshid Samuel L. Lewis; it has materials for the beginning as well as the experienced leader. The FDM is the fruit of a project begun in September, 1995, by Radha Tereska Buko who was project manager and “servant” of the manual through its birth in June, 2001. Radha and the FDM Committee composed of senior mentors continue to guide FDM translation and distribution in service of training Dance leaders and the Dance transmission. Highlights of what is included in the FDM:
Compiled errors in various FDM printings As the various printings of the FDM have been used by leaders, typographical errors and omissions have been reported. The 2004 printing incorporated all errors reported to date. Look at the copyright/printings page near the beginning of your copy to see which copy you have. Note: If you have downloaded the all the MTG webpage information via the .pdf file available, the errata sheets are not attached. You will need to return to the FDM web pages to obtain the errata file you need. Download Errata prior to 2004.pdf or Errata 2004 and later.doc Also available as a companion to the FDM is a two-CD set (audio) containing the entire repertoire of the 101 Dances. The sacred phrase is spoken and sung by a single voice followed by an additional recording with more voices and instruments. This set is intended as a teaching tool.
