It’s no surprise we like to move and that humans have always danced, even animals dance for example the ritual of a male peacock displaying his feathers and intimidating his competition, because everything moves, every atom vibrates. Even seemingly inanimate objects have spanda; the subtle creative pulsation of the universe. Dancing is freeing, instinctual and universal, it’s a way to connect to our spanda, our internal rhythm and connect to others, socialise and flirt. I love to dance it makes me feel alive, its freeing, it’s a moving meditation as you are completely in the moment, in your body.
I love watching dance, it’s so accessible and awe-inspiring. My favourite choreographer of all time Pina Bausch powerfully explores humanity; expressing every emotion with harrowing, intense beauty, tugging at your heart strings and singing to the soul. I urge anyone and everyone to see Wim Wender’s incredible portrayal of PINA, her company and her work is a must see, it wonderfully captures her and the companies spirit, I hope the trailor tempts you
On the flipside dance can be pure entertainment, skill and fun, last week I was completely blown away by Flawless and their energy, passion and incredible bodies. Seriously haven’t smiled that much for a long time and was on such a high from the show, its on until 28th May so catch it while you can and chase the dream!
Keep dancing.
