Bodies in Motion

Amidst a discussion about discovering and giving birth to new parts of self, a friend once said that she intends to try out a dance class. She said, “feeling your body in motion must make you feel so alive!” As a lover of dance and one who has danced off and on all my life, I can honestly say that I feel most alive when my body is in motion. I am by no means Judith Jamison, but even with my rusty technique dance still makes my spirit dance. You don’t have to be an experienced dancer to appreciate the life-giving force of movement. You can give birth to a new sense of self through dance, and who better to guide you than Alvin Ailey! The famed Alvin Ailey dance studio is now offering classes for everyone, only costing around $12 per class.  Don’t live in NY? No problem. Check out your local dance studios, most offer drop in classes for a small fee.
