Our Origin
"PNEUMA" significa "Espíritu" en griego. Al fusionarlo con la palabra "DANCE", que canaliza emociones superiores a través del movimiento corporal, se genera una alquimia única expresando lo que es: la DANZA DESDE EL ESPÍRITU.
Pneuma Dance fue fundada en 2004 por Shamti Ruiz, quien desarrolló la escuela en el ámbito académico y artístico. A partir de 2016, la escuela comenzó a expandir sus programas educativos y artísticos a nivel internacional.
Su creadora, Shamti Ruiz, ha concebido una visión revolucionaria que surge de su formación en el Pneuma Institute, especializado en Psicología Transpersonal, fundado por Juan Ruiz Naupari, padre de Shamti Ruiz. En Pneuma Institute ofrece una educación integral y multidisciplinaria para el desarrollo de la conciencia transpersonal, donde el arte desempeña un papel fundamental. Además de su profundo compromiso con la exploración profesional de la Danza, Shamti Ruiz también ha integrado la investigación en su propio crecimiento íntimo y transpersonal para ofrecer este nuevo método innovador.

Indian classical dance is a highly codified dance form rich with layers of symbolism, metaphor and poetic suggestion. Bharata Natyam dance harnesses its great devotional and spiritual potential.
Pneuma Dance is characterized by an emphatic emphasis on diverse techniques and aesthetics of oriental and Asian dance. The method developed by Shamti Ruiz combines the awareness of contemporary movement with sequences designed to enrich technique and connect the dancer with diverse languages from different sacred traditions.
Immerse yourself in the ancient practice of Hatha Yoga under the respected lineage of Swami Sivananda. Our classes are designed for both beginners and advanced practitioners, seeking to foster a balance between body, mind and spirit through authentic and proven techniques.
