What is it that makes your soul smile?
What is it that gets you going in a jiffy?
What is it that makes your heart race?
What is it that feels like a divine plan?
What is it that connects ‘you to your core?
What is it that resonates to you?What is it that feels just right to you?
You will know it all at the right time.
And once you do, just follow your path.
You will make your soul smile😇

The Essence of the Art of Dance
To dance is to honour your body in every move.
To dance is to sense the freedom of the spirit.
To dance is being human to value all that you love.
To dance is to breathe in the soulful connects.
To dance is to tune in to every new moment.
To dance is to inspire another to unleash their shackles.
To dance is to meditate with creative intent.
To dance is to breathe in the wisdom of the creative spirit.

Dance the path of the heart
You are an energy field and possess unique energy. What is learning to dance going to do to you?
Dancing regularly opens blockages that were and channelizes your energy and brings your rational emotional and physical self to alignment gradually. Nothing is ever achieved in a hurry similarly the effects and impact movements can have to our mental makeup is a gradual process. Change albeit a certainty, it remains to be experienced, how focused learning and shifts of perspectives through training happen, and where and what the positive changes evolve into.
Often learning to dance is looked at very superficially as a means to entertainment. It depends on the individual desire for fulfilment, as much as the wants and needs to steer and shift the energy to focus.
An artistic expression of movements has the power to engage audiences as much as empower them with feelings from excitement to ecstasy bringing the emotions to surface and evolve the spirit.
There is then a greater responsibility in imparting holistic education in art. There is the need to clarify the content and channelize art with care as it has the capacity to mould the impressionable, pliable adaptable, receptive, flexible mind and body of an interested and eager learner.
The path of traversing through the heart of movements unfolds lessons to reach the connectedness between the spirit and soul. A journey in patience, with passionate perseverance.
Dance is truly a path of the heart.

Came across my earlier painting capturing the dance of the Northern lights Aura Borealis at night from the seashore and it lead me to pen a few reflections on the dance of the sky…
Every move you make
Alters energy in space
Creating new patterns
Attracting vibrations
Shifting perspectives.
In conscious awareness
Our positive gestures
Begin to give and receive
Balancing subtle currents
Influencing cosmic rhythms
Activating harmony fields
Increasing love hope and joyIntegrating elements
Imbuing divinity in motion.
Savvy
To dance is to get in touch with yourself.
Socrates learned to dance when he was seventy because he felt that an essential part of himself had been neglected.
Age is no bar to learn to dance !
Savvy
In the gaze
Between nowhere and somewhere
Half opened eyes
Focussing within
Finding the sense of balance
In the inner recesses
Of the spirit and soul
Juxtaposed between
The art of the moves
Is the rhythm divine
That manifests the flow.
Subliming the Souls calling
Knowing the wisdom
Of the whirling moves
That centers
The mind spirit and body
All rolling into one
In the state of flow
A divinity in motion.
The truth by far
Is within us to find
Every truth unravelled
Conveys the wholeness
Of the harmonious flow
Each truth is sufficient
For the being to know.
Savvy
Expression is our birthright It makes us who we are…
In being able to move without fear or favour,
The life manifesting through us,
Art speaks from the heart of our soul.
Bringing forth our soulful expressions.
Savvy
When the hearts speak
Truth of life emanates
Whatever the heart feels
It expresses itself
For as hearts, move in the flow
The language of the heart is one!
Savvy
Cage not the heart of those who dream of the yonder
Beyond the clouds over the hills
Their spirit seeks to wander.
Across the horizon, their soul belongs
Seek not to hold them
For they are way ahead of you already
Too swift are their thoughts
Too far away are their hearts
Too distant are you from them already
Not for them, the mundane chores
Not for them, the worldly spoils
Not for them, the earthly desires
Not for them the meaningless wantsÂ
Seek not to find common ground
For they have moved on way back in time
Neither in dreams or in dare
Can there be a parallel
Seek not, as your paths are not meant to cross.
Let them go, as it is meant to be.
Savvy
This post is all about you!
Cos I would love to know more about you, my dear reader.
Would you be so kind as to share if you are fond of dancing…
Do you dance?
And if the music is right …
Would you prefer to dance solo or with a partner?
I do believe dancing from the heart has much to do with your wellbeing.
As a dance trainer over the years, I have come across many people to whom movement and music have made a huge difference in their lives.
Have always seen that it is not about the level or the intricacies of the steps or advanced techniques…
Rather it is about how you feel as you dance from within and how you make and leave another feeling even after the dance is over.
A few minutes of enjoyable dancing can leave lasting impressions on every cell of the being for the better.
Whatever the music or dance style that appeals to you the point is it integrates your healing mode and brings forth a positive transformation in the mind and body.
This is my humble attempt to bring the like-minded together and motivate you to take a step and dance some more.
As you dance you are creating health in and around you.
Do share if you feel dance has touched your life in any way…
Would be great to hear your insights and experiences.
Have shared many of my personal experiences over the years with my Dance for wellness workshops.

The stillness between your actions or movements are the bridges to our conscious experiences and the greater your awareness the greater the creative potency of the action itself.Savvy
When you dance, if you still your thoughts to simply learn to flow with the partner, the atmosphere, the music you will undoubtedly enliven yourself in the process and what you have is a beautiful dance of togetherness bridging the spaces between the steps with a conscious awareness …… And that is when dancing feels like a miracle that’s happening!

My piece of sky…
As the winds blows
Waves of patterns
Flowing like fluffs
Of cotton clouds
Waltzing in the sky!
Savvy
Stillness within
The whirling wisdom
Centers within
The search for being
In a knowing balance
Of within and without.
The gaze is never a stare
The moves are never a dare
In fact the flow is sublime
One leads unto another
Nothing marked nothing missed
Nothing focused nothing lost.
In such a state of flow
Where wholeness of being
Is the strength of a circle
That creates unto itself
There is a knowing
Of a space within
An inward glance
Into the souls calling
Springing forth
The sounds of Silence.
Savvy
Secrets of a beautiful life
Lies in the spirit of living….
Sense every moment like it is new
Such is the power of enthusiasm
Enthuse yourself to recognise
The joy at this moment.
All becomes significantly brighter
Should you choose to see it so!
You have the power of enthusiasm within you
Make life come alive in every moment.
Recognize the spirit within, like a child
That sees the world with wonder.
