Product Description
‘Grapevine’ the Circle Dancing magazine, Spring, 2006
An ’eye-opening book, reminding us of the joy and excitement of dance.’ Pat Adams. Editor.
Book Description
All over the world people are awakening to the sacred power of dance. This is the first book to explore the link between the modern sacred dance movement and its historic heritage. It is full of the knowledge, observations and experiences amassed by the author over the 20 years she has been working with Sacred Circle Dance.
The book contains --
- the origins of Circle Dancing;
- symbolism – what is encoded within the steps;
- the energies generated by the dances and the levels on which they work within the indivdual dancer, the circle and the whole of life;
- and the author’s personal experiences with and within the Dance, her stories, memories, and perceptions.
There are sections on body awareness; on different rhythms and how they work on the body; on the energy patterns created with the dances; on working with the powerful light energy generated in the Dance; on the process of choreographing dances; and on the positive changes Circle Dancing creates, for the individuals and for the collective.
It explains the depth of Circle Dance; it explains how individuals come together and in the circle learn to move and be as one, and connect with universal spirit; how some dances bring childlike joy, some a feeling of power, beauty, peace; in ancient warior dances there can be a healthy outlet for anger and a discovering of inner power; in the old planting dances there is a sense rootedness in the earth; and in the slow meditative dances there is the experience of the stillness and completeness of the innermost sacred self.
Circle Dancing is about being together, about community, about reconnection; and the book shows that the dancer meet her/his self in the Dance and how what is learnt there helps daily life; that the movement of the dance leads to stillness, the music to silence; that by circling around the still centre, there is the awareness of both the movement and the sillness; and that once the steps are learnt and completely integrated, there is the glorious feeling, not so much of dancing as of being danced, of BEING the Dance! This awareness teaches the dancer how to be lived by life, indeed how to experience BEING life.
A far-reaching book on many levels, beautifully written and inspirational both for dancers and for all who are seeking their authenticity and their purpose.
