“Chains of habit are too light to be felt
until they are too heavy to be broken.”
_Warren Buffett
We all desire uniqueness, often interpreting it as being distinct from others, yet dance offers the chance to be different from ourselves. It allows us to shed what no longer serves us, embracing change gradually, step by step, with a sense of progression.
In the midst of the dance's excitement, it's easy to skim the surface and miss the essential steps that form a robust dance practice foundation. Our movements, typically habitual, echo our identity and history, making it crucial to introduce new ways of moving slowly. At the same time, rushing into novelty risks triggering our defence mechanisms, challenging our very sense of self.
A skilled facilitator guides a group through a creative, safe journey of increasing complexity in dance. This gradual approach is the beauty of dance. As we dance over time, we may one day wake up and realise, "I feel different." This realisation sparks joy because we've reached this transformation through our own creativity, with solid foundations that can withstand any challenge.
_Christos Daskalakos
