Day 31 of 52 Nia dance
There’s this fun saying that we should dance like nobody’s watching. I like that idea as it suggests being in the body and feeling the music and not worrying about how I appear to others. But today, while dancing, I realized that I want to dance like I’m watching because, in fact, I am. I want to see my smiling face in the studio mirror. I want to laugh when I miss the step change I forgot was coming. I want to watch my hands moving in the air. I’ve learned through Nia to like what I see.
Also, seeing enhances my feeling during dancing. I’m aware of my joy when I see myself smiling. I’m aware of my power when I see myself punching and kicking.
It’s a surprise transformation. As we say in Nia, Thank you body.
