The virtuous circle of dance
Connecting body and soul
by Marindi Halet
The contemporary dancer Ohad Naharin once As dance is one of my biggest passions, I am said “Dancing is about being in the moment. It
persuaded that it has many virtues. Virtues that is about listening to the scope of sensations have been confirmed even more during the panand allowing that listening to become the fuel demic. Indeed, the lack of movement imposed of all feelings, forms and content ». by teleworking created a new relationship with our bodies and negatively affected our social interaction with people. For some, dancing became essential to free their minds, move their bodies and keep the “sharing moments”.
I met professional dancers but also students,
asking them about their relationship with their bodies while dancing.
“Dancing can help you accept your body because you learn to listen to it. when you get rid of the mirror, you can read the feeling of the movement. it makes you appreciate your body, it’s like you are experimenting, you play with your body so you get to know it better and it leads to accepting it, loving it.”
“For me dance is like breathing. It’s my way to express myself and my feelings.” Mania Dança - Brazilian dance teacher
