Bruce and I are taking Ballroom Dancing. We have wanted to do this for years. Like all life experiences, dance brings to us inner connection of awareness and a relationship discovery together.
When we are first learning the steps my past dance experience rises up inside me and I feel a familar comfort, yet while moving with Bruce there is some resistance initially. Because this is a new experience for Bruce, he is counting and thinking as his process of learning is moving through him differently.
Initially we are stiff and awkward together...our knees bump and I go one way and Bruce goes another. Our timing is off and frustration interrupts the flow.
Our teacher is accomplished and he is kind as he guides us without judgment.
In time our breathing becomes the center of our movement and the music moves us into the rhythm. There is a moment when it all comes together and the breakthrough has happened!...
WE ARE DANCING!
When the resistance is gone and we have let go, the music and dance steps becomes joy within us.
Dancing in relationship also takes practice and even when life brings us struggles we can move through them with the intention of finding that beautiful moment together.
Have a wonderful day as you connect with the rhythm of your own dance.
Peace and Love,
Colleen
