David Lader in MotionCelebrating the timeless beauty and dignity of ancient warrior traditions.

David Lader‘s Warrior’s Dance is a celebration of movement. Experience a fusion of dance and martial arts that invigorates the body and stimulates the soul.

Closer to art than regimen — more like ballet than exercise.

Students experience energy and vitality through flowing, graceful movements, the nurturing of the group, and the revitalization that results from a demanding and complete body engagement.
