There is something endearing about dancing with a partner,
it’s the
power to attract another magnetically and charmingly interact with
another’s energy and spirit through dance movement.
power to attract another magnetically and charmingly interact with
another’s energy and spirit through dance movement.
A prerequisite to dancing well is one’s ability to take an
emotional
journey and open oneself and to share and connect to another’s
energies .This is what engages the audience and keeps them
enthralled. It’s beyond the physicality of steps, patterns, touch, or
even the right dance hold or dance frame. It’s in the ability to dance
with space, time, yet in complete awareness of one another heart of
movement.

I had an opportunity
to experience this just the other day when I
witnessed all of this and more in Rohini (my mother’s friend actually)
a family friend of many years . I have known her to be a simple
religious and a happy go lucky person who also may have been
through much personal turmoil like so many others but yet
has managed a cheerful disposition every time I met her.

Her characteristic sunny nature would never give away the strife
behind the smile. The occasion was her 25 th wedding anniversary
that I got invited to , and as we reached the venue the couple
were at the dais, very understated , a picture of simplicity and
composure.
The evening took off, with all their close friends having
some
wonderful and touching things to say about them both.
I had passed on the mike at that time, as I guess; I hadn't collected
my thoughts to speak all of the sudden.

There was a small dance floor which soon got filled up with
people who were initially hesitant As the music filled the air
many more of us started getting into the groove and dancing.
And then I saw her, it was her in her element, dancing from
her heart and soul. It was fantastic to see her energetic
dancing in full display for the all to see , Her ever calm and
composed husband seemed mesmerized by all the fun moves
she did . In fact everyone was charmed by her passion and
for that moment I realized just then that her joyful dancing soul
had peeped out from the depths of it all.

Kudos to her for keeping the spirit of dancing alive in
her through all these years .God bless!
Dancing from the
heart always counts more than
perfection of steps. And that’s the ultimate challenge…
To keep the mind open, ready, receptive, giving and
simple enough to ….
