Dance – passion of the spirit

by Leah Lazuli

Dance, Passion of the spirit

Primal

It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from in the world, there is something built into us. Something primal and that is the beat of the drum and the sway of the body.

Music speaks to a part of our souls that we have forgotten and when we hear the rhythm it makes us want to move in a way that we just don’t in our modern lives.

Feeling Free

Whether you are a side Stepper who likes to clap your hands or a professional dancer using your entire body to convey a story, there is something that builds up inside of you, something that is akin to joy and a feeling of being free.

Our modern lifestyles are freedom sappers, we spend our whole lives ‘living in a box’ world. One comedian put it this we; we go to work in a box car, or box public trans[port, sit in front of our box computer in our ‘box office’ then return home and sit in front of ‘the box’ eating our ‘box dinner.

Where’s the freedom in that?

Our Ancient Ancestors knew what they were doing

Our ancient ancestors danced for the harvest, they danced for the moon, they danced for good health, they danced for the rain and through their practices they connected with nature, the world around them and with each other.

They understood the importance of freedom and joy and working with the world around them rather than trying to control it.

In some parts of the world, there are still some tribal people who continue their dance practices working wit mother nature but here in the west we struggle to fit any kind of dance into our every day lives.

That nature however; is built into us, you notice it on a Friday night in late music venues after one to many vodka’s the body begins to move, to take on a life of its own, inhibitions freed.

Reconnect

Imagine though, if we reclaimed that nature.

Instead of sitting in front of the TV, we put the radio on and jigged around the kitchen or took a an hour of an evening to take a dance class sober instead of waiting for the once a month Vodka fueled party night.

We could make dance and should make dance part of our every day lives.

We could understand our bodies better, keep the weight off, our joints and limbs supple and reconnect with ourselves on a deep spiritual level. We can find ourselves once more in the chaos of every day life, we can begin to feel the joy we experienced as children and we can spill that joy and freedom over to others.
