DANCE - Loving ME!

“Dance with yourself as you would dance with someone you love.”

-XOS

Dance is when we truly feel what it means to love ourselves. Loving oneself has nothing to do with vanity and everything to do with accepting who we are – our bodies, our feelings, and our deepest desires. Through dance we learn to love our bodies by experiencing the sheer joy and pleasure of movement awakening all our senses and allowing us to feel healthier and more comfortable in our own skin.

Dance also enables us to tune into our emotions helping us accept, acknowledge and celebrate our feelings as an authentic part of who we are. It can become a secret language that creates the communication with our inner selves. In a world where we are often lost in our minds, dance allows us to reconnect with our bodies, creating the space to identify, validate and transmute emotions.

Dance is both primal and deeply personal. No one dances like you. Our dances are a form of creative expression that is unique to each of us – arising from our deepest yearnings– the drive to express our authentic self in the world. A vulnerable journey, but one that can be overcome through the euphoria of dance, the freedom of letting go, and the act of just loving ourselves, in all our magnificence.
