You Are Welcome to Dance

After having experienced Big Dance, it is clear to me that dancing is not only for dance professionals. Dancing doesn't depend on technical quality, but above all on the will and commitment of people.

On Saturday 14th of July, I took part in the Big Dance Trafalgar Square, a massive dance event with 1000 people coordinated by Wayne McGregor and his company Random Dance. The event was actually choreographed by the people who took part in it, which was people not necessarily dance experienced, of all ages and physical abilities that you can see in the video bellow. The company dancers role was to piece all the choreographic fragments together into a cohesive structure.

Dance is for everybody who wants to express him/herself. When you are dancing you don't only exercise your muscles and sweat; you enter in a mind state that let your body and soul flow. You connect with your inner self, with your spirit, by expressing yourself - and physically you produce feel-good hormones! It is a pleasure to teach something that makes people feel good, not only physically, but spiritually.
When you feel better with yourself as human being, expressing yourself as you are and being what you really are, the world is a better world, and it is a pleasure for me to see you connect with your true self.

The event ended with the schools pledge choreography created by Wayne McGregor, in which I performed. It was danced by all participants and company dancers all together. The huge finale in unison produced a mind-blowing energy in the air. It was very exciting to dance with so many people. It is amazing when you come together to collaborate with others for a common good.

That's me back there!

Dancing is for everyone and you are welcome. Enjoy it!
