conversations in dance

“Living is a conversation with no end, a dance with no steps,
a song with no words, a reason too big for any mind.”
_Mark Nepo

In the rhythmic flow of our dances, we drop into the inherent unity of body and mind. Every movement is a conversation between the physical and the ethereal, a reminder that they are inseparable. As we allow ourselves to let go into the movements, we awaken to the profound influence each has on the other, shaping our reality with every dance.

In the dance we embody a graceful equilibrium between body, mind and soul. It is in the balance and delicate interplay of tension and release in our dancing bodies, that we find this. The heart speaks to the body and as is often the case determines our interaction with the world around us. Dance gives us the opportunity to become aware of this connection and so gently shift our endogenous mood towards a positive expansion and engagement with our lives so that we find ever deeper meaning and value.

Through the ever dynamic art of dance, we not only cultivate awareness of this intrinsic connection but also nurture the power to transform our inner landscape. For a moment we suspend the world, and enter the magical space of endless possibilities when stimulated by the richness of the music we allow ourselves to relinquish all control and let ourselves move into dances of bliss and ecstasy.

_Christos Daskalakos
