“It’s the soul that dances, the body only follows.”
_Anon
Losing oneself in the dance transcends the conscious mind, allowing instincts to take the lead. These dances exist outside the constraints of time, where our internal clock slips away unnoticed. Being subsumed in the movements, highly attuned with emotions, paradoxically means losing oneself in the dance, yet in reality, it's a profound moment of self-discovery.
To lose oneself is to simultaneously authentically find oneself through dance—an essential process of shedding the societal mask and inner dialogue that draw a circle around our identity.
Dance serves as a transformative medium; enabling individuals to explore facets of themselves they hadn't previously known. Spontaneous, liberated external movements can alter the internal landscape, breaking the confines that encircle our being. Dancing toward freedom involves undergoing the ancient shamanic ritual of deconstruction and self-loss, ultimately emerging renewed, replenished, and undeniably reborn.
