Professor Trance - Frank Natale - Trance Dance Music

"My purpose is to empower the individual through Trance Dance Music. This is accomplished by improving the quality of the individuals life through their participation in 'Trance Dance: The Dance of Life', rather than the useless search for life's meaning. My focus on Trance Dance provides the dancer with direct experience, rather than just more data and dogma." - Frank Natale

'Trance Dance International' was founded by Frank Natale (author) aka 'Professor Trance' (artist). He brought trance dance to the West for the first time.

Frank's shamanic approach combines the Goddess cultures and Amazonian plant shamanism. The Goddess cultures were Earth grounded spiritual paths, which dominated the Mediterranean and Europe 35,000 years ago before 'his'-story, the time of male-dominated societies began. Amazonian Shamanism combines the use of teacher plants and trance dance within the context of spiritual ritual.

Committed to dance movement as a healing force, Natale, with his band Professor Trance, has produced quite a number of CDs, and we have incorporated some of his best tracks into the following compilations:
