Somatic Dance is Soulful Joy

Movement excites the body, engages the senses, and moves major energy... especially when the music is soulful and invigorating. Somatics is a mind-body approach for relaxation and bodily awareness. 

Dance is a form of Play... Creative Expression. Play energizes and de-ages us. We must continue to play to stay young in body, mind, and heart. Dance releases pent up emotion, strengthens the physical body, and releases the happy hormones. Dance and somatic movement exude pure joy and the gratitude of being alive. 

My dance obsession for the past 12+ years has been Zumba class. (Kudos to my amazing daughter and fav Zumba instructor!)

In particular, I love one of the songs that's a major energy mover. It’s a Bali-inspired tune and choreography with 30+ women swinging their arms back and forth, grinning widely from happy faces, and moving massive amounts of healing energy. Not only does my body love moving to this song, my heart fills with joy as I visualize swirls of healing golden light surrounding each of my dance mates. I then move the energy higher until it expands into a bubble and envelopes the entire building, then town, and region.

If you live in south-central PA and feel a strange energy rush on a random Friday morning, it’s the Zumba girls doing their thing!
