WHY DO WE DANCE?

We asked ecstatic dancers why they dance and this is what they said

• Dance is my medicine

• Dance connects me with the flow of the Divine

• Dance is my therapy

• It is my healing, recharge, and my connection with others

• I dance to let my inner child play out loud

• To remember

• To forget

• For release, pleasure and embodiment

• Dance is medicine for my body and soul

• To unleash and revive all parts of myself that have been suppressed or died.

• To find peace.

• I dance to run towards fear.
  I dance to dissolve denial
  I dance to open the door to my heart to embrace my soul
  I dance to run towards authenticity

• To give back and receive the love and gratitude from the plants, the rain, the land, and all the people

• For the joy
  The stretch
  The love
  and The universe

• To keep moving

• For the same reason spinner dolphins spin, because they can.

• I dance because it frees up my emotions and allows me to go a little crazy (which I don’t generally let myself do in life) - plus there is no one telling me what to do - and I love that!

• To keep it HONEST and to find my truth and full sensation

• Dancing makes me HAPPY!
