CONSCIOUS Dance for WELLBEING

Music and dance not only open the sensory and motor circuits of the brain but open centres of pleasure, releasing brain chemicals called endorphins. Movement meditation otherwise known as flow, ecstatic or 5 elements’ primary function is to switch off from mental or analytical thought and allow the higher consciousness to move through the body and express oneself through the act of movement.

This form of dance is used with music and intent as a vehicle of energetic release and freedom of expression without feeling self-conscious.
