Meet Your Joyful Instructor,
Robert Meilleur
Since childhood music has moved me — there didn’t seem to be much choice — my body was danced. However, circumstances steered me away from formal dance training so my body became my teacher.
A Bellydance course launched my professional career as performer, then teacher, and the addition of African movements influenced my understanding of natural movement, body freedom, and joy. From that compiled understanding, I developed a means of leading others to their own joy of movement called World Dance.
In over 30 years of classes, workshops, and public presentations, thousands discovered the delight of joyful, free movement. So that even more could discover it, I wrote a guide book titled World Dance: A Joyful Path to Free Movement and Personal Growth which is the basis of many of these video clips.
Since retiring from teaching weekly classes, I’ve trained and worked as a BodyTalk Wholistic Practitioner which has contributed greatly to my pool of body awareness. This video channel is the culmination of what I know and love to share about the body — its wisdom, its movement potential, and its capacity for joy.
World Dance: A Joyful Path to Free Movement and Personal Growth
A Book by Roberta Meilleur
​© 2001, Free & Footloose publications​
Awaken your bones and being with this one-of-a-kind, transform-your-life book. It’s a free-movement manual, a rhythmical-play workbook, a natural dance recipe book and a body awareness guidebook.
Over 200 pages and illustrations guide participants towards movement joy. Chapters on body safety, stretching, loosening and control set the stage for basic as well as expandable dance information. A chapter on problem-solving, music lists, comments from participants and a summary dance chart add everything else but the sound system.

Movement hasn’t been this delightful, free, or easy since childhood!
Note: Every cover is uniquely printed from a woodblock so variations exist in colour and tone.
