Dance Lesson – Foundations

.

As I was researching material for this course, I realized there are certain principles, and understandings that we are required to have in order to integrate the grace and ease of movement.

One element is time, in life as in dancing movement is controlled by time. Therefore it is essential that we understand how time works and how to control it. To explain this principle in regards to dance it works like this, music provides the rhythm and timing for dancing. As a couple steps out onto the dance floor and the music begins, together they move in time to the music.

Each must understand the elements of timing, rhythm, movement as it relates to the dance and their individual parts. Each partner must trust each other, be present and connected to each other during the dance, and be proficient in the style and type of dance.


In life the same process are used as we move with the Divine. Often we try to force the music to move to our individual perceptions of time, which frustrates and discourages our efforts to move gracefully.

Some of you understand what has been said, others will require study and practice. There is insufficient room (time) here to explain and develop this principle to the degree which is necessary to use and apply it. For those who wish to learn this, I am creating a web page where I will go into this in more detail.

The second element is practice! As I was listening to one of my teachers, he was discussing how people often tried to hold a thought for a few seconds each day, and expect results from that. Manifesting, creating what you want, dancing, changing time,
all require focused and concentrated practice. It requires intention, knowledge, focus, and repeated application of all of these.

This teacher also was explaining that we cannot hold a thought of anger and of love at the same time, but we often have difficulty maintaining loving, joyful, happy thoughts. And yet that is the state that most of us desire to be in. The underlying difficulty is a product of our conditioning. In order to stop time, and move into the present, we must know and understand how to do that.

Again there is insufficient room and time here to expand on that subject. I will be addressing this also on my new website as soon as it is completed.
