One more step to wholeness

Music and Movement are the best prescription to enter into the realm of feeling.

The Dance Floor is the permission to express. 

Music can touch you in a way you never thought it could. It can be a deeply emotional process, a deeply felt process. 

When I dance to piano music, I enter into a lyrical space and I allow myself to be vulnerable. At that point, my identity changed and I became a graceful body with a deeply felt gentle expression. 

In those places, I can access pain, sorrow, and grief. 

In those places, I can access gratitude, love, and compassion. 

Those are Magical moments where all the masks are burned in my choice to surrender. 

By feeling and Expressing through my dance, I integrate parts of myself and take another step toward wholeness. 

“The beat is your lover that never disappoints, and like all lovers, it demands 100% surrender”, - Gabrielle Roth says, and I 100% agree with her.

I recall trance-like states where everything disappears and I see myself half naked with a banana leaf skirt, stamping my bare feet into a dry and dusty African soil to the Tribal Beat. 

In those moments, I feel the fire inside my belly, I feel a powerful wild animal growling inside of me, protecting my dignity, my soul, and my lineage. 

And there are moments when I feel lost, dancing my feet in between the crowd at the edges of my discomfort. The long-forgotten story of finding my place of Belonging. And that’s where I meet my deep embedded Trauma. In those moments, it’s important to have the courage to feel and go through the uncomfortable ride, take a deep breath, come back to the Heart, and listen. 

The Dance floor is like a landscape, so rich in its offerings. From a giant dandelion field to the downslope rivers, to the dark forests full of magical fairies and wild animals and the vast open sky of the unknown. May our feet dance to our solidarity dance of alignment and truth. 

Love,
