Deeper still

November 28, 2024

There’s something about the routine “Alchemy,” that satisfies. Dancing it this morning before a busy feast day gets underway, I was struck by its combination of powerful and yet deeply feminine moves.

I’ve written so much about the feelings that come up for me while dancing. Today, especially toward the end during the steps to “A Mi Madre” by Caro Luna, there was a deep sense of contentment. I’m grateful for Nia. Every day.
