Dancer's Heart

“Love softens the heart and then you live longer.”

Softening the heart is not all wishy-washy touchy-feely…. as some may presume. A soft heart is actually very powerful as it is open adaptable and can interact with the world out there. The hard heart is weak as it spends all its energies protecting and defending …. what?

The heart of the dance is soft, open and connected. In the dance we experience such range of what it means to be human through emotion, sensation, creativity and imagination. We learn to recognise these in our self as we dance. Once we embody something through the dance it is possible to empathise, or see it in others. Dance opens up these lines of connection and communication building strong and stable networks.
