Musicality aka Dancing from your heart

Let's talk about musicality📷

No, it's not about hitting that phrase change. It's not about hitting the "one." It's not about how to plan 32 counts ahead.

My friend!

I want to talk about dancing to the beat of your heart.📷 I wish you to experience this beautiful, magical alignment between the music and your soul.

We all have our favorite type of music, songs we can relate to. And it's no surprise that we dance better to those songs. It just happens so much more easily, effortlessly, naturally.

Please, do me a favor, my dear. I'd like you to please play YOUR song. Yes, that favorite one. Shift your focus inside. Close your eyes if comfortable. What feelings does this music awaken in you? What experiences and memories come up? Could you connect to it? The magic is inside you. Your precious experiences are your superpower. You went through different stories- sad, happy, heartbreaking; you had tears, love, laughter, joy, gratitude, hope, dark, deep pain, and so on... It's all yours. Own it. Move from THERE. This sacred place inside of you was touched by this sound, music, song, instrument, lyrics, or even silence. Your body will follow your mind. But please unlock it and allow it to move you.

I know exactly what kind of music touches and moves me. I become more than my body. Dance becomes a meditation. I don't overthink or plan something. I allow this flow to carry me. It does sound surreal, abstract, or like my fantasy. But if you, as a dancer, experienced that state of flow, you know what I am trying to put into words. It feels like God moves me. It is that magical rare dance when you think: "What just happened?..." and leave the dance floor in awe, gratitude, and unspeakable fulfillment. You know it was true. It was the language of your soul. You allowed it to speak.

In my experience, I become fearless and try moves I am usually scared to try. Any fear or overthinking disappears. I don't care what they think because I focus on "that moving feeling inside." I simply AM. It gives me different energy and power in the muscles and fibers of my soul. In such moments, I feel the most authentic connection to myself I have ever experienced.

It never happens when I cannot relate to the song, when I am overthinking about pleasing judges or the audience, or when I am trying to be a "well-behaved follower, trying not to mess up the leader and trying to match him 100%."

I wish you, my friend, would experience dancing from your heart at least once—entirely, without excuses. Then, you would never want to go back to any other way. It is scary but rewarding.

So turn on your music. Connect to the inside. Move solo or with a partner. Dance is a therapy. Take a chance! Dance YOUR dance!
