Dance is a creative and expressive force that lives within your genes and was never meant to be the thing we think it is... the over-extensions, the dieting to death, the specific bodies only, the specific ages only...
We have become so disconnected from our individual bodies that we no longer know how to listen to them or care for them, and now that we're adept at destroying ourselves, we are destroying this world.
Dancing in community, dancing for joy, dancing for grief, dancing to be with those whom we love, dancing to mark important events, dancing to cross thresholds...
THAT is what dancing is.
It is the willingness to be vulnerable and truthful and to dig in deep and it is a pathway to healing that will heal us and our environment, but we must be willing to take it back.
