already always perfect

Session 2, Day 7
We did a bit of a shortened warm-up so that we can get right down to moving big. We revisited our exercises across the floor and did our center “barre” exercises. We also did our basic connection exercise. This time we tried to connect quickly. That helped to take out some of the uncertainty and hesitation. Almost deciding to just be there already…already always there…already always perfect…We then spent a lot of time just running the dance. We added a few more steps to the end of the phrase. And we danced to different types of music to see how that affected/influenced our movement. I don’t know about you, but it was an emotional day for me. I mentioned in class that the energy in the room felt like something was simmering and just about to come to a boil, bursting out of the pot. Wow, great! Hopefully, we can channel this energy through our bodies and out to the world when we dance. Having the courage to feel confident when you feel out of control is what I believe, allows you to truly fly, with two feet on the ground, especially while dancing. Give it a try! – next week perhaps, or maybe even now. There is a lot of power in deciding that now is the time.
