Discussion
A lot of women are preoccupied in their dance with the well being of the man. It is remarkable how much effort (both mentally and physically) is used not to hinder the man in his movement. Less interesting are the consequences of this behavior (both for themselves and the partner) even though it is quite innocent and unconscious by nature. The causes are divers; The first is the misconception or rather the misinterpretation of the term “following”. Through time and methodologies we still use this word in its primitive form without considering either content or signification. The second is polarization. Female energy within women is characterized as an in-warding energy. It is a passive energy which wants to let things happen, wants to be led, is open, wants to feel and unify, to absorb, reflect and accept direction and indication, to cherish, to embellish and surrender to movement. In order to meet the necessities and functional requirements of the dance they will need elements of the opposite pole within themselves in order to establish harmony. The third is the true nature of women. They are carrying beings. They welcome life, nurture it and thus it corresponds to their nature to care about others. The hitch in this matter is, they care very often more about others then they do about themselves. And harmony can’t be established when one is more preoccupied with the other side then with oneself. In these lessons we’ll become aware of these elements so we can balance them out. We’ll work on shifting focus to yourself so you can open your space and find your place. From here we enter in communication in trust and confidence rather then tense, doubt or feelings of inadequacy.
