The internal Voice of Dancing

Dancing has been more than a driving force for me, to the point of being an interior voice that has always been at a steady beat, waiting to be heard and experimented with, and even a repairing comfort in the worst of times.

Humanity has always wanted to explain their existence, explain why things around them happen and at the same time thinking that good things are a gift while bad ones are a punishment, by one or some superior beings. Why am I summarizing what we have heard a million times in school?... because it is still what we do, to this day… whatever happens we hope that someone from above, if they are watching, will give us a hand and help us with what is happening in our day to day and if that help arrives, we look for ways to give thanks for that help… this is how for me the different forms of art where born, that and how I gave voice to that innate creator we all have inside us and which is manifested in every one of is, in a different way, art.

In me it is expressed with dance and drawing, however I have focused in dancing. Why? Because as I have said before it has been my greatest ally, and like in every relationship there have been moments of anger, struggle, frustration, joy but above all of healing and it is there, during my personal process, that I discovered how to live in dance.

I tried that process, where my insecurity, my fear of rejection, fear to take decisions, doubts, the terrible communication I had with my parents and everything that drowned me, I turned into movement… during classes, presentations, tours… I would try to inhale, exhale, use the strength when the earth resounded with the sound of our feet, to give expression to my arms, to offer everything that weighed on me and express it with my heart. Turning it into sadness, in a smile that came from the depths within me, I felt how in offering, I would also receive. As if it was a channel, receiving and giving. Inside something flows, a strength or energy, however you want to call it and in the end I felt at peace.

As if in that moment, for a few minutes I could connect with that inner strength and that thanks to that I had the strength and conviction to confront whatever came my way, whatever was going to come… for example to take responsibility of bad decisions, which may seem simple to some but I like to keep them in a box and bury them in the depths of the earth and may the world never find out of how bad I have acted in more than one occasion, and again with this, my greatest weakness, dancing has helped me be free, free of what people will say, the weight of judgements, above all my own… when I listen to my body, I can connect with that part deep within me, the humblest, most loving and kind side, which I am not aware that I have and forget to express.

In the end, we are always connected between us, to that universal BEING and when we try to connect with yourself, we can feel that link within us and for a moment discover that we are not the center of the planet and that is ok… all the fears and doubts there were, we have been capable of removing their power, nurturing the contrary of this… just how i think our ancestors used to do, the origin of the world does not matter, we have the same ways of connecting, of vibrating, of healing… history changes slightly but I know that no one can resist showing a response to musical rhythm.

This is the context of Dansante, a therapy with dance that thanks to La Jardinera and Lucia has been developed, to be able to help let go and reconnect with ourselves, bring out that light that we all have inside of us, and whatever happens, whatever the tests might be, we can overcome them.
