Why do we sometimes hold back? Is it because we feel that what we offer is not good enough. Is it misguided modesty? Or that we are saving up the best for some other time? To dance without intensity is to be going through the motions. When we live without intensity we are also just going through the motions.
When we learn to dance with intensity we learn to live with intensity. What does this mean? Bigger movements? Grander gestures? Not necessarily so. Intensity does not always mean bigger and wilder. Intensity by definition is when we bring more of something into focus. I would argue that what we bring into focus to created dances with intensity is more of ourselves.
When we are fully present we engage with all aspects of our self. How are we feeling right now? Where is my body right now? Am I conscious of my movements? When we bring into focused consciousness what we are feeling , what we are thinking and what we are doing then we create dances with intensity. These are the moments when we give authentic expression of our self.
