Dancer. Actor. Storyteller. Teacher.
Author of “The Village Bully” and Agnihotra practitioner.
A side of Baltimore seldom explored. Maria Broom, at 75, is still dancing through the city, inspiring people young and old to do what makes them feel good. Forty-five years ago, Maria chose to leave her high-profile job at Baltimore’s premiere news station to listen to the inner voice calling her to dance. From working alongside a young Oprah Winfrey, to leading decades of children in meditation with an ancient fire, her life is a testament to the beauty that comes when one embraces their true purpose resisting the status quo.
Maria Broom offers a rich tapestry of services that weave storytelling, dance, healing, and education into transformative experiences. Through the power of story and movement, she creates spaces where individuals and communities reconnect with their deepest truths.
Whether leading restorative justice circles rooted in African traditions, performing story dances that breathe life into ancient wisdom, officiating sacred ceremonies, or teaching the ancient healing science of Agnihotra, Maria’s work uplifts, heals, and bridges hearts across generations.
She offers Dance Medicine sessions to release stress and awaken joy, master classes in World Dance traditions including Hawaiian Hula, public speaking workshops that empower voices with grace and confidence, and mindfulness practices for children designed to nurture peace from an early age.
Every offering is crafted to inspire movement, stillness, connection, and a profound remembrance of the beauty within us all.
