‘To be a true dancer, you must become intimately aware of your body, feeling every small part and all the ways it wants to move. When we hold any little part of the body still, we effectively dull our awareness of the body’s sensations. When we surrender to the current of sensations that want to race through us like water through a sluice, the body may spontaneously begin to move and to dance, for this is the natural way it expresses real joy.  

A dancer truly befriends her body, every little piece and parcel, leaving nothing out, not a single muscle fiber, not a single sensation, not a single movement; this is true friendship.' Rumi Gazing at the Beloved – Will Johnson
