DANCE - Poetry in Motion

“The universe is a cosmic dance of energy and matter,
engaged in ceaseless creating, destruction and evolution.
We are all part of that dance.”
_Paul Harrison

As we gracefully move beyond the barriers of words, dance becomes the sacred space where emotions, long confined to the chambers of the heart, find liberation. In the moving body exists a cathartic alchemy, a mystical metamorphosis of the spirit. Each step is a thunderous whisper to the soul releasing long held stories that serve no more. The dance invites us to shed the burdens of a weary heart and unravel the fears that stand in the way of a life full of meaning. In unravelling these tightly held threads, the joy of dance also brings to light our deepest yearnings and desires. Through the dance we journey breathlessly into bliss connecting to those passions that make life colourful.

Dance is the tactile poetry of the body which invites us to express, transmute, and release the diverse textures of our emotions. Through the dance, we do not deny but savour the beauty that is the tapestry of life. Through the dance we invite new meaning into the silent spaces between heartbeats. Those secret spaces are where we commune with the cosmos and realise that our dance is the dance of life, is a ritual that brings us into harmony with the universe’s awe-inspiring melody.

_Christos Daskalakos
