Dance as a Tool for Social Change

Somebody asked me-- Why is dance sacred?
Here's what I know from being the living, breathing, walking example of the
Muse of Dance & following  Her embodied prayer. 

Dance is a...

Sacred Container for Moving meditation - A practice in presence.
Where is my breath? My gaze?  My center? -- What shapes and rhythms am I expressing through my body? Are they intentional? Am I moving from unconscious habitual patterns or from present moment awareness? What feels good? What feels Right? or is it Left?
How do I play with my conscious choice in the mix of moving parts all around me?


How do I move my prayers from the thought-realms to the seen-realms of 
embodied manifestation?
To make my prayers SEEN in the physical world.
Watch my prayers come alive! 
Then, Amplified together when dancing together.


Can I fully step-aside and allow a greater energy to move me, move through me? Abandon my thoughts or judgements of self. Surrender to a spiritual life force coursing through?
Follow the IMPULSE alive in my body.
 Not over calculate, protect, care-take, or analyze but truly trust myself by following my intuitive impulse. 
Do I dare trust my desire to simply be?

How can I fully BE in my body while also being with another? With a collective?
Dance-- the paradox of existence at play.
Expressing our individuality AND our unity through the larger organism of
music & movement & togetherness.

Leaning into a third entity ​where we are inter-dependent with one another.  
Trust ourselves, our structure & our softness. 
Trust others, their structure, their softness. 
​We are brave to lean in. 
And safe to lean out. 

Moving from a place beyond belief systems, ideas, and language.
No longer separate. Moving as One.

Dancing is a Voice of Freedom.
Freedom is the Dance of Impulse.
Impulse connects us to the Source.
Source is our Divine Nourishment
...  milking us as we milk it.

Conscious Dance: infusing intention into movement & connection.
