Mini Biography

I am 55 years old, a married guy with three grown up step children. My grandparents were Russian and Rumanian jews who came to England to escape persecution. I was opened in 1970 and Bethan and I live in Ipswich, Suffolk, but work with adult groups worldwide. My rich and varied work, plus the remarkable travelling life that goes with it, came about through my “unfolding” as a result of the latihan, and testing played a useful part in this. Recently I have written my first book (about to be published) called “The Cat’s Whiskers”. Stefan's dance web site is at www.worldance.org
