Viewing a dance performance can transport you because it is
- multisensual; often music is involved and sometimes props-
- erotic
- therapeutic in that it is out of your head- into feelings and creative spaces-
I was in audience Tilles Center (CW Post) Long Island for Jose Limon Dance Company performance this past weekend- and I was transported!
Once in a while I found myself blogging (this) in my head and forced stop- to be able to be fully present and “out of my head” with the dance viewing experience.
I’ve always found dance to be therapeutic in the doing and the viewing…
I owned a dance and exercise studio and created an audio program Moving Meditation® Fitness: A Fitness and Relaxation Program knowing that anyone can become more focused, relaxed and happier with the inclusion of dance-movement combined with visualization and guided breath work in their fitness and stress release routines.
All you need to do is simply allow dance and movement to transport you!
Yes! If you love something, then it gets you in the “flow” where all of your worries are whisked away, and you experience true peace and joy!
So true, Ang; thanks for sharing that insight 🙂
Dancing can put you more in touch with your body and yourself. Watching is the next best thing, isn’t it?
Absolutely! and as a dancer, I can actually imagine-feel the moves !
