Welcome to Deerdance.
This web site holds the passions of Terry Kem, Founder and President of Deerdance. Deerdance was founded in 1995 and is an expression of Terry’s exploration and excellence in the arts of animal tracking and the practice of developing awareness skills through Nature.
Animal Tracking encompasses an ancient science that was passed down from generation to generation. It is arguably the first science and is a skill that was used for survival in older times. Today, animal tracking is being rediscovered as a means to learn about animals, their habitats and their relationships with their environment. By learning animal tracking, we gain a set of skills that provides us a myriad of tools to play with as we explore nature. Tracking has been the doorway through which Terry has rediscovered the natural world and all her wonders.
This web site provides an invitation to participate and engage in the natural world in a way you may not have ever considered, expected, or explored. It is an invitation to begin or to continue in our shared journey of building an awareness and relationship with nature, in a wondrous, playful, meaningful walk on this Earth.
