“Awaken your Passion – Dance!” Written by Kimberly Clausen. Natural Life News & Directory holistic & healthy living in Montana, May-June 2004. It is our soul’s urge to dance. Infants and children innately feel music. Due to a variety of reasons, as we grow into adults, our capacity to feel music, not to mention giving ourselves the freedom to just ‘bust a move,’ often goes missing. Learning (remembering) to move the body without fear, shame, guilt or judgment is a great way to reclaim our innate freedom. Through movement and dance we re-awaken our senses, our bodies, and our inner child gets a chance to play. Soul Dance is an hour-and-a-half journey into our selves; body, mind, emotion and spirit. I developed Soul Dance as the manifestation of my greatest passion – feeling music, and dancing to the rhythm of my soul. The urge to play is quickly awakened in those who come to Soul Dance and they continue to return for sessions filled with great tunes, a cardiovascular workout, body toning and an amazing array of awakenings. Participants move and dance to whatever rhythms, emotions and sensations they are experiencing. Soul Dance creates and supports an atmosphere that is playful, celebratory, profoundly empowering and fun! It’s an open invitation to become whomever is within us that we hold so secretly – the inner rock star, the inner ballerina, etc. When you dance for 1 ˝ hours building energy and stamina is a given, as are firmer thighs, fannies and calf muscles – all lovely benefits! Participants are from all walks of life – all ages, sizes, shapes, and stages of health. I specifically designed this class for non-dancers and I’m honored and frequently overwhelmed when I witness former scared-to-death participants blooming into expressive, joy-filled dancers! It’s an outlet for stress relief, reconnecting with your sensuality and a great way to play. The most common response is, “I love this!” Passion is the word that sums it up – an all encompassing expression of the Self; an organic manifestation of your individual art. Back to Home Page |
