dance CONNECTIONS

“The dance goes on forever. So shall I. So shall we.”

_Gelsey Kirkland

In the dance we reach a common place – a point of contact where we find each other in delight. Whereas languages often separate us, dance emerges as a universal form of communication that transcends the barriers of “other”. In our dance we are able to connect with each other on a deeper level, finding common ground that words alone cannot reach. The movements we make tell stories that resonate with our shared humanity, fostering understanding and empathy.

Physical expression through our dance often bypasses our differences, allowing us to communicate in a way that is both primal and profound. As we move, we reveal our innermost selves, creating a space where connection and unity can be nurtured.

Dance invites us to celebrate the universality of the human experience. We are not separate beings. We belong collectively to the living pulse that echoes through this cosmos. We are both individuals but also part of the whole. When we connect deeply with one another in the dance, we can transcend into the ecstasy of this fusion with the whole.

_Christos Daskalakos
