#020 - Not On The Beat But Dancing *IN* The Beat
Manage episode 447342336 series 3318074
i'm always learning more ways to "be present," but this cue, BY FAR, is my favorite lesson in presence. when dancing, being "on" the beat is technically correct. however, it feels effortful, seems rushed, and just looks... wonky. kind of like my "awkward" outfits from a few posts/podcasts ago
when my private dance instructor gave me a cue to be "IN" the beat, everything just clicked. i noticed there is actually sooo much time and space. like, there is literally no need to rush. even a 1 second beat has SO much time! like when dressing in my aligned colors and in cuts that enhance/honor my natural essence, dancing feels so much more enjoyable and *right* when i allow myself to be IN the beat
i am so grateful to be on this journey. everything is melting together in the most beautiful and delicious way. what a thing it is to be ALIVE!
here is the instagram video. can you see the point in time in this video when i switch from ON the beat to IN the beat? it is so clear to me. i want to apply this to my entire life!
