All one needs to do
Is experience the journey
Cos the destination
Takes care of itself!

Waltzing on ice.
Can you waltz on ice?
When winters turn grim and cold
Can you create joy and cheer?
Even in moments of melancholy.
Can you see a silver lining of hope?
In the dark dreary night to help you cope
Can you see beauty in every dusk and dawn?
Letting go of fear & doubts in the twilight hours.
Can you instill trust in another & move in faith?
Inspite of not knowing the way as yet.
Can you believe you can lead the way?
Inspite of being in a maze in the now.
Verily you are stable in balance
And you have taken your stance.
Clearly then you are dancing in this moment.
Clearly you are waltzing on ice.

Dance?
Why learn to dance?
Because it eases you out of yourself.
Sometimes in the throes of life and living
A tough hand is dealt with
And as you fumble through
You realize how constricted you are
Your sense of being is somewhat lost
Your funny bone misplaced
You forget to live life
And your moments start to matter less
Life feels drab
Your body feels dense
Your movements drag
And your thoughts feel dull.
In these moments where life is truly trying …
It’s great to give dance a try.
Consider trying to move from where you are
Step up a little and rock a bit
Feel the swing in your heartbeats
And sense your spirits soar
Dance on and step to the tunes of life
And who knows?
You find you love life all over again.

Trust yourself
Trust another but more importantly trust yourself and know, that it will never let you fall!

Art of Management
Dancing and Management
What’s dancing got to do with management
Everything!
Oh, she is a dance teacher!
What will she know about managing a business?
This is the common perception of people in business setups. They have a dismissive attitude towards anyone who comes from a non-aligned field like arts for example.
Personally speaking, as a dance professional for more than two decades, I can certainly say that the experience trains you into a lot more than dancing. It helps develop & cultivate people skills, culture and mindsets, and the ability to empathetically understand attitudes that can be observed in life and living.
Besides, there are common skills that go beyond business management and enter life skills that one needs to navigate life effectively.
Here are a few skills that come to mind immediately…
- Time Management
- Code of conduct
- Space management
- Body language awareness
- Self Expression
- Discernment
- Discipline and Focus
- Alertness
- Respect
- Collaboration
- Teamwork
- Mindfulness
- Authenticity
- Precision
- Adaptability
- Planning
- Creativity
Dancing movements can open channels of flow which translates into greater energy optimization.
And each dancer may have explored the art of dancing in different forms and its application would have the potential to create a greater depth of understandings.
The value of art may be high, yet the possibilities and the potential application of art are yet undervalued and undermined.
There is so much scope in the art of movement that we can realize. It’s high time to accept that dance education and application has much to offer the world beyond just a stage performance. Great to see radical shifts in the way dance is being perceived across certain parts of the world. But it has to percolate to where all it can matter.
Time to think beyond and open up to these yet underutilized but valuable life management skills.

Effortless grace
Effortless grace is visible in a dancer,
Who even in the dynamics of great extensions in flexibility
Can manifest great ease and subtlety.

Dancing Stories
A dance speaks much without words.
A look, a stance, a tug, a step
There is energy playing in every move.
And energy speaks without words.
Every dancer creates energy.
Movements convey in the emoting.
The essence of the moves.
For every dance has a story!

Vibrancy
Be aware that your hands are like antennae, able to pick up currents of energy from space as well as send them out. But for your hands to be able some day to attract and send out only beneficial currents, you must first pay great attention to the gestures you make in everyday life, for every gesture, however insignificant, produces a vibration. Whatever task you are performing, try to make measured, harmonious gestures, in the knowledge that you are activating forces and elements that will allow you to transpose what you are doing onto the spiritual level and therefore attain the higher levels of life. True spirituality consists in using any kind of work as a means to bring your thoughts, feelings and movements into tune with cosmic harmony. Each movement you imbue with a divine idea is recorded in the archives of your higher consciousness, from where all beneficial energies, such as love, hope and joy, will spring. – Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
You are a dance of energy
Every move you make
Every step you take
Every thought you think
Every word you speak
Creates vibrations in space
Make sure to tune in.
Align your mind and body
Make way for harmony
Flow in synchrony
Sense the peace love and joy
Emanate with joy
In and all around you.
Dance on in awareness

To Dance…
“To dance is to move with the strength of earth below you, sensing and knowing the grounding beneath you of your convictions.
To dance is to freely be able to improvise your physical and emotional self with the quality of fluidity like the flowing water.
To dance is to ignite the power of passion and fire up your creative movements.
To dance is to be able to glide as if you are as light as the air and soar in grace, as you feel the wind enveloping yet beckoning you to scale new heights of harmonious effusion while dancing with a conscious awareness of your edges and spaces that you occupy in this beautiful amazing world”
Savvy
Life is how you live it.
Live fully
No half measures.
Live in the moment
& make it so beautiful
It will be worth remembering.
Savvy
Follow your heart
The cells of our body
Are listening
With rapt attention.
Ever ready to alter and adapt
They dance to defy
As much as to align.
Of what we truly are
As it tunes to the rhythm of the being.
Heart beats to it’s own tunes.
In the beating of the heart
Is hidden the truth of living.
The path of the heart
It knows the way!
