Equinox Dance

"Whatever you can do ,or dream you can do begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.."
- Goethe

Equinox speaks of the inevitable cycle of existence. It speaks of balance and the natural progression, and introspection. This is a time of the change of seasons heralding in a new phase. Summer is on its way and nature begins to grow and blossom again. The ultimate creation of nature expressing itself.

Conscious dance is also about creativity - the ability to continuously create and recreate our life. We discard the old, conserve what is valuable and create the new.

In the dance we embody this change without having to rationalise it. Each dance movement we make opens up possibilities and in that moment we instinctively move to create our next dance movement, then the next and then the next. Without planning or thinking our body know instinctively where to dance next. This way we enter the flow of life without planning, thinking or judgement. Dance stimulates our natural instincts and wisdom to conserve life and to keep evolving. Being in the dance, is to experience the cycles of life by being present in the dance, enjoying the dance and detaching our self from any outcome or expectation. Dance is being in the being.

_Christos Daskalakos
