DANCE - Awakening the Inner Artist

“Creativity is seeing what others see 

and thinking what no one else ever thought.”

_Albert Einstein

Emerging from the depths of our natural instinct is the desire to express ourselves – to define our identity and have a presence in the world around us. Dance can counteract the distorted view that to do so is egotistical. Every moment of cultural suppression can slowly dissolve through our moving bodies. The dynamic aspect of dancing can literally shift our point of view and allow us to reconnect with what is pure and innocent.

Existential expression is the key to our creativity and the myriad of possible dances that reside in our bodies awaken and emerge when we allow ourselves to be moved by the power of music. The powerful combination of music and dance not only allow us to connect with emotion but also to revisit those pivotal moments in life where the natural flow of our being was either diverted or suppressed.

The key to shifting culturally or societal impositions is to rediscover the joy and pleasure in living. Through the dance we find this moment of magic when we transcend the ego and melt into the movement, dissolving in the music only to remerge with the freedom that allows us to explode into this state in our unique and marvellous way.

_Christos Daskalakos
