10 Benefits of Early Morning Dancing
Last week I’ve come up with
this light bulb plan to start teaching dance classes early in the morning, very
early actually. And then I remembered something a clearvoyant person once told
me: you know you are too old to
be a ballerina but you can still dance every day. She is so right and I bet this goes for
many people out there. Dancing is such a blessing, we human beings just love it.
There is no reason not to dance and if you think there is, start dancing on it
right now!
So, I called it The Moves,
starting with The Morning Moves. Forget steps or routines in front of a mirror,
instead we will go on a journey of the body, mind and soul, opening up to
oneness and awareness, loving the fact that we are here, alive, in our bodies.
Yes, let’s hear it for the body. She is left out too often, exposed to toxins,
stress and other signs of neglectance.
Moving the body around,
creating inner and outer space, eyes closed or wide open, swaying like a tree,
moving the earth with a single breath: most people become instant wall flowers
when they encounter free dancers. O
dear Lord, you hear them think while backing away, God
gave us steps, use them! But
let’s be honest: wouldn’t you just die for a crazy dance like that? To feel the
freedom of motion and obviously the freedom of mind, getting into it ‘like no
one is watching’? To become a fool?
This wall flower thing is
exactly why I will be in the studio 5 times a week and I invite you. Let’s be
fools and, like David Bowie once chanted: let’s dance! Yesterday morning was the
first of The Morning Moves and it was complete bliss. Not to mention selecting
the music. People or no people, I will be there, available to you and to the
heart beat, dancing my ass off. Because if anything, opening up to the gift of
dance everyday is a present on its own.
For those who have
experienced the healing and energizing effects of dance at some point in their
life, The Moves may be a long awaited morning workout opportunity. And they’re
right: you will get fit and in better shape. But let’s take a look at other
benefits:
- You will forget you are tired. Feeling heavy and done with after waking up? You. Will. Rise. During an hour of pure dancing, while connecting to the inner body and attuning to healing frequencies, tiredness will proof just a state of mind, your attention is elsewhere, in the now.
- You develop a sense of inner rhythm. Knowing life flow and how it expresses through your body works miracles in daily life. You get to know your rhythms and how to move with them. High energy becomes your friend, just as low energy. Through dance we don’t fight anything, we bring everything to awareness.
- Dancing provides you a sense of musicality. You will know music from the heart. Whatever party you attend, you know how to let the music guide you deeper into the dance. People will watch you, yes. They might think you are crazy, yes. And you, you will be dancing.
- You will know masculine and feminine polarities within yourself and others. How these unique qualities of life feel and move can be explored through dance. Feel how the feminine opens and how strong the masculine enters space.
- Stress can be located and vaporized, by you. While dancing with stress, as if it were your dancingpartner, you take it into the Now, again, into awareness. You localize the stress and know it. Bring attention, dance with the stress and say farewell.
- Dancing in awareness creates a higher frequency. The strong magnetic field around everybody’s heart creates an even stronger collective heart that illuminates and transforms everything around and in it.
- Dancing brings joy and awareness to yourself, others and the planet. While dancing freely, you open the heart so it is able to connect to the hearts of all sentient beings (Life, to make it short).
- Dancing is the smile of the body. How? You inhabit your body and this radiates out. You will inspire others by transfering information (body language, skin radiance, life oozing from your whole being).
- Anything you did not want to feel, anything you pushed away comes into light. Because dancing is something very physical, you will feel where stress and other emotions manifest. Movement allows you to literaly put stuff in motion.
- The foremost benefit is that you are aware. From there life is dance and dance is life!
