DANCE: Joy in Motion

“You will never find a dance partner as perfect as your own spirit.”
_Zen to Zany

Not just a physical act – dance is beneficial to both body and mind. In the flow of movement, joy is an inner feeling that best describes the sensation of losing ourselves in the dance. Bringing calmness in the centre of dynamic vitality, it shifts the debris of the mind to expose our innate nature which is pure joy. A deep sense of connection to our body, our movement and our feelings expands our awareness of life. A sense of well-being means that with ease we dance along a transformative path that not only leads to a sense of well-being but activates our existential creativity that allows our spirit to forge a life that is crafted to bring maximum contentment.

Joy emerges when we feel self-confidence by embracing the dances that promote body positivity. We appreciate our bodies for what they can do and the sensations that generate deep connections to the experience of life. Our hearts too find a healthy outlet to express and release emotions, tensions, and anxieties. We surrender to feelings that arise from spontaneous movements that free us of stagnant emotions. A deep connection and integration of mind, body, and heart frees the spirit.

In essence, dance is a celebration of life – when we are connected to this we move in pure joy.
