THE DANCEFLOOR IS ONE OF MY GREATEST TEACHERS ๐๐ผ
I truly found myself on the dancefloor.
.
I was so shy and scared to even lift my arms when dancing.
.
I would dance at the side trying to hide.
.
This was 4 years ago.
.
Then I put my hair down and I let go.
.
I let go of how I think I should move.
I let go of worrying what others think of me.
I let go of how I looked.
I let go of the shame.
.
I cried, I sobbed and I laughed. I let go of all parts of me that werenโt me anymore.
.
And I just danced.
.
I just danced.
.
I was inspired to see so many around me completely loosing themselves in their dances.
.
I learnt a lot from them and still do.
.
.
When I dance in my living room, I imagine them.
.
I imagine the dance floor.
.
I imagine looking around and seeing all the people I love.
.
I imagine how theyโd move and how Iโd move with them.
.
I imagine how Iโd go to the next partner and how Iโd dance on my own a bit.
.
Sometimes in the middle, totally in it, being deep in my dance but also held and seen by others.
.
Sometimes at the side witnessing the magic, dancing with myself yet feeling connected with others.
.
I imagine seeing everyone in their unique expression.
.
Where we turn into Gods and Goddesses, warriors and priestesses, dancing beyond whatโs here and now.
.
.
The dancefloor showed me whatโs possible.
.
It showed me whatโs possible in my life, what I can create and what life can be like.
.
It showed me how many times I can have my heart broken and love deeper every time.
.
It showed me how much I can feel, how much I can open my heart and receive all of life.
.
It showed me how a gaze shared in a dance can tell so much more than any words can express.
.
It showed me how a lifetime can be shared in a dance without a single word spoken.
.
It showed me how much I can be witnessed in my most vulnerable parts and be loved over and over again.
.
It showed me the magic.
.
.
.
To have experienced the dancefloor and be taught by it, Iโm truly grateful.
.
The dancefloor is one of my greatest teachers.
.
And my dance partners, my greatest allies.
.
To all my dancing friends,
.
I see you,
.
I miss you,
.
and I love you with all my heart ๐
.
.
See you on the dancefloor ๐๐ผ
