(hope it’s ok that i appropriated this image from the great dance blog)

there is something i really love about this new post by doug fox, about taking a 5 rhythms class in ny. this is my favorite part:

A little later during the class, Tammy had us break-up into two groups. She said that everybody who wanted to dance with a partner should go on one side of the room and everybody who wanted to dance solo should go on the other side of the room. Well, guess what happened? Me and the woman who had just danced together were on the partner side and everybody else went on the other side of the room.

it sounded like doug really let himself go–really let himself move–in the class, and i love that idea. i guess it’s b/c i don’t believe dance is just for “dancers.” everyone should know the joy of moving freely!

and now i’m off to my own freedom-seeking dance retreat–5 days up at earthdance!! yahoo, i’m so excited…actually probably too excited, given that i only have 5 days for dancing/headclearing/natureabsorbing/workforgetting/lifeinspiring…not quite enough.
