“If I could have said it, I shouldn’t have had to dance it.”
_Anna Pavlova
Dance reflects the hidden language of the human soul. It is core to our being and allows us to express ourselves from a space that touches us deeply. When we dance, we speak with our bodies, telling stories and sharing emotions in a way that words could never convey. The fluidity of movement becomes our voice. When we dance, we connect on a deeper level, sharing something that words can’t quite capture.
At the same time, it is a form of mediation that allows us to be fully present. As we focus on music and movement the noise of our minds is gently silenced. We cannot be thinking or planning, instead, we are spontaneously moving in the here and now. We cannot be thinking about the past or the future which frees us from the ever-repeating stories we hold onto. We’re just dancing – we’re just living.
And what does this dance mean?
Does it matter?
We find meaning and value in the experience, in the dance, in the excitement of a vibrant animated body. We don’t have to explain it to anyone. We can’t explain it to anyone. Not even to ourselves. Our dances become intense experiences of life, they let our human soul explode into the world so that when we look up to the stars, we can just nod with a knowing that has always been part of this eternal marvel we call life.
_Christos Daskalakos
