My Dance - I am all in

“You are all in when you dance”

He says after a tanda

A vivencia filled with expression, play, and connection

A vividly lived experience in the moment

With another deep and playful soul

“You express and feel the music at another level”

“And I wish I could be more like that”

Says another man

A connection that had been filled with intensity, entanglement, coldness, separation

and reconnection over many years

Music moves through me

Like blood through my body

She heightens my senses, sensitises, caresses and touches me in deep places

She invites me into her mystery, into her vortex

To play, to feel, to experience life through me

The music takes hold of my heart, my soul, my entire being

An unrelenting hold of my entire being

To be with her, to make love with her

In the moment, 

In the present moment.

I breathe the breath of life

And it enters me

Like a lover penetrating deeply into my body

Making love to my entire body, heart, and soul

I am lost in the moment

Lost in her spell

As the breath flows into my body, caressing, massaging, holding me

Until my deepest and darkest emotions are felt

Excavated, and lifted to the surface of my body

My emotions I had suppressed

My emotions I had pushed

My emotions I had wronged

For fear of being ridiculed

For fear of being rejected

For fear of being hurt

For fear of losing love

I dance these emotions to the surface

From my womb

My belly

My precious heart

My throat that swallowed so many words and sounds

Now coming out through my breath, sighs, screams, shudders

Tears flowing

Tears desiring to be seen

To be witnessed

To be felt

Feeling my ecstasy, excavating my emotions

Now ready to be seen and witnessed

And expressed through my dance

Yes, I am all in

Yes, I express and feel the music at another level

I am transcended through exquisite music

Through the breath of life

Into another realm

This is my dance
