FLOW: I love when I emerge from inertia and set myself in motion. I love finding my fluidity. I love caressing the ground with my feet. I love feeling the swing of my hips and seeing the tips of my hair as I release into a swirl. I love losing myself in the curves of others, tumbling. I love letting go of direction and relaxing into not knowing where I’m going.I love feeling like a wild animal in a dark forest, all feelers activated. I love sinking into myself. I love feeling sensual and soft.
STACCATO: I love when I am clear and direct. I love feeling my body extending into the world like an arrow of strength and purpose. I love when I stand up for myself and/or others. I love feeling grounded, centered and powerful. I love carving out my space. I love feeling sassy. I love playing with the beat. I love connecting. I love when we move as one pillar of power in tribal.
CHAOS: I love totally letting go, sweat, snot, tears flying! I love being swept into the wild beat despite my mind’s perceived limitations like being tired or sore. I love feeling free and surrendered. I love letting go of looking pretty. I love my madness. I love being in a room of dancers exploding in this rhythm. I love when I break out of my comfort zone and surprise myself.
LYRICAL: I love feeling delivered unto joy, despite my mind’s complaints. I love the sense of expansion and lightness that spills up and through me. I love meeting a dancer(s) delight and endlessly play, play, play. I love my heart’s innocence and wonder. I love the sparkles, rainbows, unicorns, hummingbirds taking flight in my imagination. I love love.
STILLNESS: I love Stillness the most maybe, that sweet spot of moving slowly, intimately, hearing my breath and perhaps yours near me… I love disappearing in the dance. I love resting in this golden glow. I love looking out with soft eyes from my sweat-dripping hair covering my face at a world in slow motion. I love tuning into the air passing over my glistening skin, drenched in my own nectar. I love finally coming to total stillness and meditating. I love peace.
