The crazy cool thing about dancing to good music
👉in a room full of people
👉sober
👉 for one hour straight
👉with no instructions
is how many of your patterns and insecurities will arise and how dancing will help you get over them 🙌
When a song you know comes on it’s likely you might revert to moving how you know the song goes, or how you danced when you heard that song last (how you felt, where you were, how bright it was, or how drunk you were).
That’s fine and that feels safe, but what’s good for you and what we’re looking to do is help you break away from this.
What does your body show you when it moves how it wants to move, when a song you don’t know comes on, or when you have to move for one hour straight?
When we listen to our body and let it move how it needs to, we notice parts of our personality come out that we may not express, we break past unhealthy patterns in our life and we ease tension, physically.
One session of Expel, I noticed myself going back to this same dance move. It felt good so I kept repeating it. As I kept doing it, I realised it was my shoulders that were tense and that I was not letting go of something. That same session we had a guest DJ and I hadn’t prepared the set. He was playing his own stuff. Through this movement I noticed I wasn’t coping not having control of the session and knowing how people would feel from the music and that was something I REALLY needed to let go of. The minute I clocked this my body switched moves. I surrendered and just enjoyed what the DJ was creating. I had no stress or fear. Bliss ✨
Sounds crazy? Try ittttttt
If you can’t join Expel, I dare you dance in your room or outside like I did here, for longer than feels comfortable. When you hear yourself thinking “that’s enough”, keep going and see if your body moves past something you’re avoiding 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏽
