Dancing the Living Current

“The truest expression of a people is in its dance and its music. 

Bodies never lie.”

_Agnes de Mille

Biodanza encourages us to stop dancing as individuals and begin moving as something larger. When we surrender to the dance it feels less like “me dancing” and more like life itself moving through us. In these experiences we are not alone as we bring our human presence in motion setting aside all that separates us.

When we dance with this energy something archetypal awakens. Beyond our individual stories we move with each other in a simple more ancient way – a dance born at the dawn of our humanity. Rhythm synchronises our bodies, melodies softens our hearts, and almost like a tribe that becomes a single organism we move in the living current of life itself.

Just as ancient rituals and ceremonies inspired the collective, dance teaches us that we do not have to cross this river of time alone. When we surrender to the music and to the presence of each other, the movement reminds us of the collective intelligence that has carried humanity across the ages. To dance this living current is to trust life and surrender to the mystery that is our existence.

_Christos Daskalakos
