Creative movement

Dance is an open path on which you gain direct and intuitive, rather than rational knowledge. It is non-articulate, deeply emotional, expressive of the power and profusion of inner experience.

Improvised dance means celebrating the miracle of creation, and is equal to limitless self-acceptance. Dancing is what frees you from unattentiveness, the routine, numbness and opens your eyes to yourself and the things around you. When you dance you are a whole, the mind comes home.You experience your body and let different smooth energies flow through your body. It feels like tuning in to a higher frequency. You perceive the deepness of the moment, time ceases to exist, you live, feel and perceive very intensely. On the inside you celebrate and experience each perception.When you dance, your body unbinds itself, stretches into the space, you undergo changes - you are a free stream. Your ego disappears and you adopt the universal awareness, which blends with the shape of the trees, flying of birds, qualities of water, fire or the wind. You are pure joy, the echo of shadows or the light of the heart. Your dance goes its own way, there is no forcing it. You do not control it: just let it happen.You put the whole of yourself into it, you dive into dance and keep up a joyful mood. You play with your energy, with your vitality, you let it find its own spontaneous way. Improvisation is the only means which can take you as dancers onto a path leading to higher creativity.

" There is a kind of vitality, a strength, an energy, a ferment, which turns into action via you, and given that we only live in one form, this expression is unique. But if you do not give it a free way or you block it, it will not come to life via anybody else and so will be lost."
