Aya:
Aya is akin to a circle, round in simplicity. The theme is an uplifting connecton through tone. Swinging on the beat of eternity, these dance variations engage and inspire the listener to move. Aya enacts freedom, romance and the excitement of life! The open atmosphere and vibration clears the mind, creates confidence, stability and a feeling of peace.
