About this dance
Hello dancers!! Simran here- and I’m excited to be your facilitator this Wednesday!
I am coming back from a 10 day trip to Iceland that was a complete mind and body reset for me. I made the playlist for this Wednesday while there
The land of fire and ice, where everything feels a little more alive, but ancient at the same time. Where heat rises up from the earth and cold air moves straight through you. Where all the wonders of nature come together in one tiny but grand space. I kept thinking about how both thawing and igniting can exist at the same time. how we hold both all the time. Especially in our sacred dance space.
My set moves kinda like that. There are parts that build and build and ask something of you. and also parts that feel like a deep exhale. moments to push and moments to soften. This was very much the vibe of my trip and the energy I’m bringing in this Wednesday.
It’s rare I’m away from our community. Wednesdays have become sacred for me and missing dance is normally completely out of the question but being away gave me a chance to step back and appreciate what this community really means to me. I love to have a space where I’m completely unmasked. Where I’m not a burden or too much- I’m just enough exactly as I am. I love that coming to dance is just about coming as you are and letting your body have whatever it needs and that no two weeks have ever looked the same for me. Our dance is one of the few spaces I just get to exist as I am. Stewarding this space is one of the biggest honors of my life- to give to a space that has given me so much. To hold the love of our community members in my heart wherever I go- and to think of you and carry you with me in my journeys- it’s the gift of a lifetime.
I hope to see you! Can’t wait to dance to some Icelandic tunes and eat some of this licorice I brought back for y’all.
