DANCING INTO SPRING

“She dances to her soul’s beat,

with springtime’s spirit and bare feet.”

_Angie Leiland Crosby

Spring is the season of awakening. We feel its warmth in our bodies and hearts, much like the sun inviting the earth to rise from its winter slumber. Through dance, we too soften into newness. In Biodanza, we discover that life is a continuous flow of creativity, where each dance opens the possibility for something fresh to emerge. When we connect to the energy of spring, our movements unfold with beauty and surprise.

This subtle turning of the season awakens dances of connection, as our attention begins to move outward. Like a seed pushing through the darkness of the soil into the light, our bodies awaken through movement, enlivened by all the senses. To dance in a group or another is to experience this connection to life itself, a life that embraces us with affection and care.

Spring is delicate. We embody it through sensitivity and softness. Just as dance can be vibrant and full of energy, it can also be gentle without losing its vitality. Moving through rhythms, emotions, and sensations deepens our bond with life, making us more open to the cosmic flow that is our wonder.
