Dances of the world : Argentine Tango
Dancing is the ultimate art of expression of the spirit of life. Every part of the world has a unique set of dances that set it apart yet find some similarities somewhere. And that’s what is the strength of the creative art of movements, in the interconnects of community, culture , history, traditions as well as a reflection of the expression of changing times in the Dance Connection, and that is what beautiful about ‘Dance’ itself.
On the occasion of International Tango Day on 11 th December…
As a Celebration of Tango Dancers across the world …Sharing a few verses on Tango with a beautiful Tango Watch “Andrea Vighi y Chiara Benati – Milonga para as Missoes”
Tango
Born in the dark alleys of Argentina
The stark truth emerges of murky beginnings in the 18th century
Frequented mostly by slaves, immigrants in the ports of Buneos Aires and even Uruguay.
There were even bans on many of these tango musical gatherings.
The dance form began with countless influences of European and native culture.
Watch
Argentine Tango is both energetic and enigmatic
It has the strength and soul to show.
Equally exotic and evocative
Intriguing and beguiling
The lead and follow is beyond genders
For connection is beyond the physicality
For beside the passion play plain to see,
There is something quite alluring & attractive in the movements.
Two people apparently moving as one
The footwork entices and enthralls
The feet move with a mind all their own
But articulating a drama through the feet.
Watch
Slow, steady or sharp and staccato movements
Each pair of feet, teasing the other
Challenging into a seemingly deadly duel of the feet.
Hitting all the right notes
Never missing a beat
Never stepping unto another
Except for a flip a dip or a show stopping lift thrown in.
If you want to see the drama of life and living,
Watch the synergy of energy playing
In a soulful yet spirited tango of two dancers.
There is rivetting romance,
Yet strikingly serious and sombre in notion.
Depths of emotion & unbridled passion
Emanating in an artistry of motion.
Today there are so many versions of the Tango
Off shoots and diverse cultural interpretations.
That created new interpretations of the way the dance is danced.
In hold, in form, in stance and in steps. That it’s almost untraceable.
Tango today is alluring as ever with dark days remaining just a history.
Yet retaining the mystery and appeal, Captivating with its intensity.
The connects so rooted in the embrace and hold, that makes the fancy footwork so effortless.
Tango truly speaks eloquently more than ever before…

CIRLE OF CONNECTIONS
We are connected
In the Infinite tapestry
Of life and living.
As we dance with life in gratitude
We gradually, sense the strength
In the circle of conscious connections.
Savvy
Energy is omnipresent
In the quantum level
In our cosmic consciousness
Our energies, transforms itself
As a pattern in the making
Charting us along
the evolutionary pathway.
Our imagination is energy
Of the source code
Dancing in all its uniqueness
Yet energy at its core is oneness
For all is interdependence
In the interweaved tapestry
Of life and living.
Collating confounding concepts Conundrum of collectives
Of creative connections into
Coexistence in collaboration
Of potential into the possibilities
Modifying thoughts to morphing ideas
Energy may alter in shape and form
Yet the truth of energy is omnipresence.

Beyond imagination…
There is space beyond
Beyond what is imagination
Thats awaiting your awareness
For its opening creative interpretation
All is not what is,
What is is not all…
In detattaching from notions and judgments
You may begin the journey to sense the now
But in the course of time gradually
There is a letting go of immediate conclusions and
In that dimensional awareness increases
Where our imagination is able to receive in acceptance than just
projecting…
In such a state of conscious consideration
Arrives profoundness beyond apparent realities
Association find new unique meanings
Therein beyond the boxes, imagination pirouttes
Beyond repetitions & recapitulations.
Creativity sparks in sensing the miracle of now.
Savvy
Edge of balance
Balancing on the edge of balance
Our lifes, hopes and aspirations
Have a different meaning
For they are sensed in vividity
Tethering, quivering in the now
To the preciousness of time.
Silent in the stillness of being
No matter the applause of achievement
Success takes on a fresher perspective
With all at stake in this now
So very embedded in the vulnerability
In the river of time.

Happy Festivities
Happy Diwali to all here.
Sharing a few musings from my mother.
Tamaso ma Jyothirgamaya.
On this Diwali let us
Illuminate our hearts.
Ignorance n impediments
Vanish in that brilliance.
Let Faith, prayer, compassion
And humility fill the place
While false beliefs, prejudices
Hatred & anger
Dissolve without a trace.
Past year has taught us
Many lessons.
Many have learnt
The real values our lives need.
A disciplined lifestyle
With resilience will take us far.
The core values our ancestors had
Are not mere lessons in vain.
They are real essence of health
With gratitude, embracing all.
Time to rectify our deeds
Done in the quest to excel.
Mother Nature knows well
How to balance & dwell.
Let’s co-exist without harming,
Valuing all lives, be it in any form.
Let this Festival of Lights
Bring harmony & happiness.
Together we will protect
This precious divine gift
Undoing all our wrongs
Restoring what truly belongs.
A Very Happy Deepawali
To all of you,
Be safe and healthy.
Stay blessed ever.
As we celebrate this beautiful festival of lights lets all take some time to connect with the cosmic lights and feel its blessed presence within us all 🙂

Dancing In Harmony
Dance not to impress
Dance to express
Dance for no one but you
In the dance sometimes
The dance begins to lead the way
But know you choose the way.
Choose to pause between the steps
When you need to balance the self
To dance again from the center of your being.
You are the dance, the dance is in you
But you must abide
By the truth of your being
If you dance without your soul
Or if you dance without your spirit
You feel empty as you are not there.
Then you are not true to your purpose
To express the way of your being.
So tune in to authenticity.
Along the way of dancers dancing
Different dances for different reasons
Every life has its own purpose
Whats relevant to stay truly aligned
To dance in harmony with your being.
Savvy
Step into your harmonious self
Nature of harmony is healing.
Soothing sounds of the gentle waves
Ease the inner recesses of the mind.
Greenery growing in synchrony
In spite of the abandonment of the wilderness,
Calms the body and mind.
The refreshing smell of the first rain
Is truly invigorating to the spirit.
All of nature when in balance
Is a dance of harmony.
Align to this harmony.
Sense the joy of the interconnection.
Step into your harmonious self.
Savvy
Life & Living
There is an art of life and living
Be freehearted in giving.
Sense every nuance of this now
Express the love of life in this moment.
Tune in to rhythms playing in life
Like the dancer who dances
Emoting through the movements
Tuning into the awareness in every step
Dance with all of your being.
Connect unabashedly
Life and times move swiftly
Regret never the moment lost in doubt
Engage with this now passionately.
You will give yourself the greatest gift
The gift of living than simply existing.
You will fulfill the purpose of your being.
You will make your life worth living
Savvy
Nature fascinates
We explore it in unique ways
Some of us lookup at the sky
Admiring the infinite vastness
Of spaces above and beyond
Some of us look down at the ground
Preferring to dig deep into nature
To witness the foundation of living
Exploring the very roots of the life
Some choose to dream and envision
What might be, in hope for the morrow
Some sit in stillness witnessing their breath
Knowing all the truths of life is within.
Some prefer to dance with life
In this now as it unfolds
Accepting nature as it appears
Preferring to make best of its moments.
Savvy
We are…
We are
Grains of pulsating energy,
Vibrantly dancing and emoting
In the sands of time.
We are
Moving bodies reacting and responding,
Patterning uniquely in every now
To the tunes of the nature of life.
We are
So very fragile in the making,
So very vulnerable in the sensing,
Yet so very strengthened in the living.
We are
Fractal fields of energy transformation,
Designing and redesigning ourselves,
Giving purpose to life and living.

Movements in the moment.
To dance is to move with all of you
In this now as you are
You are as you dance…
Connecting in this present moment
Body and soul
Enmeshed in every step of the spirit
Of the movements that you do.
I cannot think of a more beautiful way
To celebrate the gift of life within you
Than to dance with all of you!!!
Let the movements in the moments
Emnate like a beautiful dance of joy!
Enjoy the gift of life and living
Dance with all of you!
Life to me is a lot like” dancing”: a spontaneous movement that’s free and continuous.
Experience every moment in 3 Dimensional context.
Dare to live vibrantly!
If you cling to just one moment you can’t experience it all and if you are not living with awareness you would not be living it at all!
Live Life Lovingly!💕

A Dance Of Thoughts
Imagine space not as something that distances us
But as a liquid connection
That allows resonances
That dances on its own frequencies
Of connections that speaks for itself
Expressing emotions
Living life
In the infinite abundance
Of Interconnects in resonance
To this quantum coherence.
