What, Exactly, do the Dancers Do? *Cosmic Dance increases one's awarenes of space. Learning to move dynamically together physically, with grace, is an important social skill that helps us to become sensitive to the error of trespassing. *The accompanying live music of the great composers (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart etc.) lifts the soul to cosmic realms, cleansing it and allowing the head to rest. This music, and a resting head, strengthens the forces of the heart. It isIt is the heart that has the potential to create loving, steadfast bonds within communities.
The dancers, arranged in a circle, move simultaneously a specific geometric form through space in such a way that the entire circle of dancers rotates, creating an etheric flower (spirograph). At the same time, specific gestures are formed via the heart/arms/hands. (Each dance has a specific geometric form, gesture, and sound.) As the dancers sculpt the geometric forms in the air, moving dynamicaly in unison through space something palpable is set in motion:
A rejuvenating cosmic force enters the world through the portal of the human heart that works into each dancer, activating latent capacities within them. As well these cosmic forces stream through the community vessel of dancers, and out into the world as an ensouling embrace. They also work downward, spiritualizing the Earth.
