dance...EMBODIED LIFE

“Dance is like dreaming with your feet.”

_Constanze Mozart

Biodanza delivers opportunities which is different from the conventional sense of chasing goals. When we dance we reconnect with a pulsating life that reveals itself the moment we return to ourselves. Through the dance we enter this field which is already alive with possibilities. Our moving bodies soften the rigidity of thought that arises from expectations formed through habitual behaviours.

Dancing opens a more fluid and responsive way that allows intuition and feeling to arise from a deeper place. Guidance is not directed from the mind but rather an embodied sensation that quietly seeds movement, awareness, and new pathways. We simply have to be willing to be open to feel into that which we desire and through the dance gently become that which we desire. This is not an external intervention of life but a deeply rooted flow that emerges from our deepest and most authentic centre.

Dance therefore allows us to embody that which we desire. Nobody gives us joy for example, but if we are truly present and willing we dance ourselves into the “field” until we become joy. The collapse of subject-object mirrors the dance where creator and created, dancer and dance, merge into one. This way we embody and integrate that which we seek so that it is less transient and more rooted, even as ironically the dance itself fades.

_Christos Daskalakos
