dance - non-linear?

“To dance is to be out of yourself. 
 Larger, more beautiful, more powerful.”
_Agnes de Mille

To dance is to enter into an enchanting world that transcends both body and movement. When the music captivates our soul, dance can become a mesmerising journey that seamlessly integrates mind, body, and emotions. Within this harmonious union, we dance into a space of profound self-expression that transcends all the boundaries of linear thoughts. We enter into spaces of myth and magic where time itself suspends its linearity and everything becomes timeless, spaceless, and expanded.

In these moments of dance, there is a fluid ever-evolving connection between me, the individual dancing, and me melting into the fusion of music and movement that becomes dance. Here we find a living embodiment of our innermost thoughts and feelings, an abstract representation of our personal life. Gone are the linear stories and memories we habitually draw on to create a sense of identity, and in their place, we surrender to experiencing the unpredictable, embracing, non-linear world of potentiality.

This pulsation between separation (Ego) and fusion (surrendering) is what uncovers the magical and transformative power of dance. By suspending the linear narrative that we perceive as our lives, we can enter the space-time of dance, embracing our authenticity in the moment of our most intense experiences, allowing our souls to shine through.

_Christos Daskalakos
