Description

Please note, dance is canceled on the 4th Friday of this month. June 24th, I will be out of town. -------------------------- What is Azul Conscious Movement? Azul is a movement practice that supports embodying awakening, we do this by practicing four orientations: Listening, Allowing, Opening, and Moving towards. Listening while in movement – connects us to our inner knowing Allowing while in movement – keeps us in the current of life Opening while in movement – makes space for possibility Moving towards while in movement - orients us to the present moment In Azul you are invited to express all of you, a safe space to be the real you, you have permission to go as far or as little you are comfortable and ready to go. No two dances are ever the same. It is a non-choreographed dancing space, it includes guidance to support bringing you into the body while in movement. There is no wrong way because your way is the right way. "For many of us, there is no form of self expression that makes us feel more vulnerable than dancing, It's literally full body vulnerability." ~Brene Brown.

"Enter the body and the moment" ~Amara Pagano | www.pathofazul.com See you on the dance floor… With Love - Jake Frankel www.dancingismedicine.com ______ For this week's class... Are you feeling uncomfortable being the full you? Are you saying Yes, even though you feel a clear, No? (“a dirty yes”) Are you not speaking up even when your entire body is screaming to say something? On the dance floor while in movement is a place to explore yes’s and no’s, expressing the full you. On our dance this week we will explore the three emotional keys, Feeling, Expressing, and Releasing. Feeling: Alexander Lowen (creator of bio-energetics) says that feeling is the bridge that connects mind and body. Feeling can be as simple as experiencing sensation in the body and as complex as feeling emotion. Expressing: Is the ability to share yourself and tap the energetic need to allow energy to move through you into form. Allowing our expression can open a space for whatever needs to be felt and released. Releasing: Is our ability to ride the energetic wave through to the point of letting go of all that no longer serves us. It taps our need to surrender and dissolve into something bigger. This is a crucial step in our healing process and creates a space for integration. You are invited to express all of you, a safe space to be the real you, you have permission to go as far or as little you are comfortable and ready to go. No two dances are ever the same. See you on the dance floor… Love and Gratitude - J
