Ebb ended Flow returning!
Today as I was walking through the mall on an errand a revelation hit me...I am loving my troupe class again!!! I actually look forward to heading out into late rush hour traffic to get to class.
I could attribute this to the fact that I have always gotten a little burst of joy in the fall, but in the last few years that autumn burst has been missing. I am not sure how it found its way back but I am delighted.
Last night's class was constructive, exciting, and it went in a totally unplanned direction. Abandoning the lesson plan, I just went with the flow trusting there would be good results on the other end. And, boy howdy, the results were GOOD! I can't say enough wonderful things about how everyone is contributing positively to the dance we are working on. I am so very pleased. No bickering, eye-rolling or whispering, no having to compete with the peanut gallery, oh what a joy!
I am suddenly experiencing a return of my creative energy. I am writing three choreographies at once, and having so much fun. Perhaps a space without mirrors is what got me back into the three dimensional brain-space for dancing, I dunno, but I am eternally grateful!
I simply have to repeat myself:I had the best troupe class last night in ages, literally in YEARS! The smaller number of dancers in the troupe, the new and wonderful(sans mirrors) space, the absence of certain stressors,(including but not limited to expensive escape-prone cats and dubiously smudged brass poles) have all conspired to give me new energy for my choreographic process.
And for that, UNIVERSE, I humbly thank you!
Ever your servant,
Belinda
