Keys to the dance   ...

DANCE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING !

 

I have adopted this list to suit what I feel is important.  It is a very condensed and abbreviated form of ideas adapted by a dancing organization called The Dances of Universal Peace.  They are based out of Toronto, Canada.  In a sense it is a philosophy, and an idea that promotes a way of thinking.

 

  1. THE SACRED

 

These are sacred dances, but nothing is sacred simply by calling it so.  A sense of sacredness comes from within.  It is an attitude with which one approaches.

 

  1. BE OPEN

 

The dances can use the names of Gods and Goddesses and sacred phrases from various religions of the world.  Enter the circle with an open heart and mind, suspending judgements and prepare yourself for the experience. 

 

  1. LISTEN

 

Try not to just recite the sacred songs.  Listen to the other voices.  Listen to your own voice.  Listen to how the dance is danced. When you listen your voice & steps will harmonize.

 

  1. THINKING AND FEELING

 

The dances are designed to take us more into the universe.  Stay in touch with your feelings.  If you go off, simply bring your concentration back to feeling.  The heart is a good place to begin with.  We will be clearing our negative energy before we start.

 

  1. MOVE TOGETHER

 

Try to restrain from the impulse to make an individual expression.  You will be amazed on how much higher/deeper the dances are when you use the same energy to harmonize with

Others.  Feel your body, and then gradually become part of the whole circle.

 

  1. ECSTASY & GROUNDING

 

These dances can lead to states of ecstasy, and are joyously invigoration.  You can soar, and enjoy.  Taste it and if your feet are grounded on the earth, then you can allow your head to be in the heavens.  At the end of sacred dance the energies created will be grounded.  You can take some for yourself, and send the rest into the earth for healing.

 

  1. SILENCE

 

As the sound of the music of the dance stops, enter the silence.  It is your opportunity to hear what has been created.  It is in this silence you can absorb the qualities evoked during the dance.  It is one of the most important parts of the dance.

 

Remember : 

DANCE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING
