Quimera Ritual Dance is a dance company and community devoted to the transformative power of movement.
At the heart of Quimera is the belief that dance is more than something we perform, it is a form of prayer. Movement is a way to express the human experience, connect with something greater, and bring deeper meaning into our lives.
We put these “prayerformances” on stages around the world, from music festivals and professional dance concerts to immersive events and collaborations with DJs and musicians. Beyond the stage, we lead workshops, retreats, and ceremonies that invite people to experience movement as a tool for expression, connection, and personal growth.
Our work is rooted in ritual dance: a practice that brings intention and meaning into movement. We use our bodies to tell the stories of our lives. We believe movement has the power to heal, and we spread the transformative power of dance through ceremony and performance.

With over four decades of experience and research in dance, Quimera Ritual Dance founder Anandha Ray has formulated a method that teaches how dance communicates and heals while also elevating a dancer’s ability to new levels of expression. This form, known as Quimera Method, teaches dancers to find their own voice in movement while also reconnecting with your authentic self.
Anandha Ray has trained and ordained reverend priestesses within the Iseum of Quimera who are available to offer performances, classes, workshops, retreats, serpent tents, serpent ceremonies, dance rituals, and dance ceremonies.
