DANCING THE INVISIBLE

“The dance is strong magic. The dance is a spirit.

It turns the body to liquid steel. It makes it vibrate like a guitar.

The body can fly without wings. It can sing without voice.

The dance is strong magic: The dance is life.”

— Pearl Primus

There is a realm just under the skin of our dancing body where the pulse of life hums invisible yet powerful. When we let go, softening the edges, we find that our inner kinaesthetic sense leads us intuitively to a different type of knowing. It’s not thought that guides us but the deeper whispers of the dance.

The mystery of dance is that it moves both externally in form, and internally with feeling. Each gesture, each movement, is both an expression and a listening. One melts into the other when we are deeply present and connected with ourselves.

These dances are delicate, quiet, yet fiercely alive. Through the dance we awaken our inner seer, the one who knows without knowing, who speaks the language of sensation and silence. In that quiet space between movement and sensation we learn to trust the unseen – to trust life.
