Spring Awakening and coming out of Covid! After year and a half and over 2 years since my last live performance I had the opportunity to connect, teach and perform for the first time! I was excited, anxious and nervous all at one time! I reminded myself; if you do everything from the place of love you can not go wrong. Costume was picked out and ready, music set done. Workshop material check and a ton of self care for me check!
The morning was early; 6 am. I started my prep; thoughts where dancing and whirling around my head. The car was packed and ready to go! Getting ready for performances and events can be a very magical thing.
Everything is carefully and well thought out hair, flowers, makeup and adoring myself with jewels. It is the most sacred and special thing for me. It’s very calming, allows me to quiet my chaotic mind. It brings me back into myself connecting to my own power and feminine body.
What a wonderful glorious day. It was already hot that morning the sun was shining bright. I made it to my destination! There were so many people there! Wow! I was a bit overwhelmed at it all but, talking and connecting to people is something I truly missed!
Time for my performance! As I made my way to the stage I was so glad I did not wear all the layers! One skirt and shorty pants! Goodness is was hot! I have done this many times in hot weather so I told myself; you’ve GOT THIS!
The music started. I was stage right waiting for the opportunity to emerge and to dance. My cue came and out I flowed circling the stage allowing the music to feel my heart and soul and connecting to all of those who came to watch and support me. I could feel the coolness of the concrete stage under my feet. The hot breeze kissing my face. My bright yellow skirt swirling around me with my purple and black fan veils flowing above. This is what I have missed! I did not miss a beat my heart was full! I could feel the energy as I danced between me and the audience. Joy filled my body and soul!
Every time I dance I heal a part of me that I did not know needed healing! I feel empowered, confident and just down right amazing! My friend Cathy told me “just watching you dance for that moment healed me”
The one thing I gathered about this day is that people are looking for connection. So let me ask you a question!
You know how we can have a loss of connection with our bodies as women? Well I offer weekly classes in a very safe, positive and open environment that allows you to be yourself where I teach you how to move and connect to your body through dance and movement! Does that not sound wonderful to you?
