Added 2023-04-02 19:36:00 +0000 UTCI am NOT a dancer. Fun fact: years ago I took belly dancing lessons, and the instructor asked me if I was “naturally bow legged”, ensuring that I never stepped foot in another dance class again 😁🤦🏻♀️ But I swear by the benefits of free, unstructured movement. Some may call it ecstatic dancing. Some may call it wild gesticulation. I like to call it Embodied Erotic Meditation. Learning how to move freely doesn’t come easy for most people. Throughout our entire lives, we’re told to sit upright, stand still, and keep your shit together. Even when we are encouraged to move, it’s often according to a prescribed structure, where we are counting our steps or checking our form. But sometimes, you need to let your body do what it WANTS to do. Don’t think. Just move.
