Mysteries of Dance

To dance is to embrace movement with grace. The layers of stiffness, self consciousness, and unwelcome thoughts evaporate as movements open doors to lightness of being, physical abandonment and a deep inner presence.
In each case an inner shift occurs moving my consciousness from a dense state of mind toward a less dense state. Whether solo dancing in a group, or pounding the tavern floor with friends, or swaying my hips while alone in the kitchen dicing onions, I’m left with a memorable degree of satisfaction.

In this age of mindfulness to ones actions and emotions, I think it is reasonable to ponder the mystery of transitioning from self absorption to degrees of freedom.
So what are the mysteries of Dance for you?
- Is our society so structured that denser states of mind are considered normal
- Have we moved from a time when our ancestors were guided by a lighter state
- Are we moved to dance by an inner need to be free of normal dense states
- Can dance hold us in the present
- In our daily life, does a lightness of being move us into universal rhythms
