Creativity always emerges through the dance

• Do you ever know where the dance is going to take you?
• Do you ever know what will emerge once you start dancing?

My very first encounter with formal dance was through an improvisation workshop. Who would have ever imagined that the expressive flow unleashed on that day would lead to a lifetime of dance? And yet that is the amazing thing with dance – it connects us directly to our creative self allowing us to give full expression to feelings, thoughts and actions that would otherwise have lain dormant.

This is existential creativity – expression of self. We don’t need paint and canvas or chisel and stone. We ourselves are the medium of expression, we ourselves are the art! This is the wonderful lesson that dance teaches us. How to live and be our glorious self in this world!
