Dance for me is...

In Cuba where I come from, dance is supposed to give common joy and bring people together – it’s a moment of pure happiness. It is a way of communication and interaction between woman and a man, it shows cultural behavior and social beliefs. I find dance wherever I look, because life is dance to me. It is breath, glance, an out of words conversation. It is movement, it is being, both sound and silence, the deepest meditation, a prayer. An encounter with the Truth… the truth about myself, about life, a key to understand oneself and others.

Seeking for the Self...

I see so many people with no connection to who they are.
I see them talking, teaching, learning, training, moving, dancing, singing, shouting...
but no connection, to the Truth, to themselves, to the Spirit, to the Soul, to their inner child, to their true talents, to God.
It is not one thing that makes us be ourselves.
We are connected in a holistic way to what we truly are. When you persue in this, you cannot pretend, you cannot do it part time, because it means all your life, your work, your expression, your relations, it is everything. I believe we deserve to be real, to seek and find our pureness and be true.
Everything we need to know was said before, we just forgot. Every wise man in our history and till today, they just remind us about the Truth. It has been all said. We just need to remember.
Then we can connect to who we are and be what we want to be.

To truly dance

I wonder what happened with the dance - the language of the soul which used to serve to communicate with the Universe, with God, with others and with ourselves. What happened with the authenticity of the body, with perception and communication, with the honesty of expression which comes from within, catching sounds, emotions, feelings and pulses from the space.
I can see people dancing for the imaginary Self, hungry for applause and approval, dancing for the public, who dare to assess their dance. But in the world of lies, assessment is the only verdict. However, people - even those who live in a world of illusion - can sense the authenticity. What shall happen to the person who dances authentically, with no specific style or form, but to the rhythm of his or her soul?. There is so much hidden spontaneity in us. The energy of life doesn't follow any patterns, it is in constant motion, independent from all shapes or notions and it travels into the unknown, always creating something new. However a person who is afraid... ties it in a cage, giving it a solid form and a name. And then strives for perfection being a prisoner of his own limitations. But freedom means detachment from the form. So how can we dance the new?  The dance is always new, even when we dance to the same melody, it is already a different song...

Stability

Where do you look to find support in your life? Where do you seek acceptance and love? Is it the outer world, your work, family, the other person, or maybe is it yourself? Life is in constant motion, it is permanently changing. Change is its most stable quality. Sometimes we feel anxiety and insecurity, because we don’t know what will happen… whether we will be loved, accepted just as we are. Your roots are in you, just like anything else you are looking for. When you understand this and start working with it – you will evolve inside. With time, you will start to notice that there is nothing in the outer world that could shake you… because you have found and developed Self-Love.
