“Dance to the rhythm of life,
letting every moment be an expression of your soul.”
Our amazing bodies are able to convey a multitude of emotions and intentions through movement, transcending the mere physicality of movement and entering into the realm of dynamic expression. Is this the origin of dance? Whether influenced by our mood, intension or the desire to communicate, our bodies’ response to the stimulus of sounds and music in a profound and significant way. Synchronised with music we are able to use rhythm as a visceral response creating a tangible connection to the rhythms of life itself
On the other hand, melody serves as a gateway to our emotional depths, awakening the feelings within us that allow us to explore the wide spectrum of our human existence. As melodies unfold they can infuse our movements with a distinct dynamic that evokes the hues of joy, longing, excitement, and ecstasy. Similarly, music enriched with harmonies transcends the mundane inspiring sometimes contemplations, sometimes meditation, gracefully leading us to moments of profound transcendence.
This is the power of dance – the intricate relationship between body and music that leads to the expressive potential of our moving bodies. The dance becomes the language that transcends words, allowing us to articulate the depths of our being. Dance becomes an exercise of the soul which can find liberation, lightness, and freedom as our bodies become vessels through which the entirety of existence finds expression. To dance is to be the ecstatic flow of life itself.
_Christos Daskalakos
