Dances of Universal PeaceThe Dances of Universal Peace were brought together in the late 1960's by Samuel L. Lewis (1896-1971), a Sufi Murshid (teacher) and Rinzai Zen Master, who also studied deeply in the mystical traditions of Hinduism, Judaism, and Christianity. In this creation, Lewis was deeply influenced by his contact and spiritual apprenticeship with two people -Hazrat Inayat Khan, who first brought the message of universal Sufism to the West in 1910 and Ruth St. Denis, a feminist pioneer in the modern dance movement in America and Europe.
