Learning there are other Ganchos in life 🤣
Last week's newsletter inspired me to share I often get asked whether dancers ever stop learning, and how my short answer is I hope not 😄
You might know already how much I look forward to summer in Vienna ☀️ and in addition to the sun, ImPulsTanz Festival makes me love this time so much.
It's the time of the year I move the most (yeah, even if I work with movement the whole year 😅). It recharges my batteries, not just the physical and mental, it inspires me, makes me feel alive and happier, looking forward to what comes.
Today started my 3rd week and the last of 5 workshops I chose to dive into this year.
Half of them strongly connected to the path I've been cultivating for more than a decade... Hours observing, diving inwards, experimenting, asking questions, reaffirming that something as ordinary as walking can keep revealing new layers when you look closely enough.
One that challenged me last year and got me to love it brought me back to it for a second time 🤸🏽♀️❤️
And now one I never thought I'd be ever trying out 😄
I'm no "push to get out of your comfort zone" team (if you're my friend or have been to my classes, you know I tend to support that in softer ways), mostly letting the body-mind find its places and respecting its pace.
Building those places of inner support and allowing the process to unfold can open surprising doors. The body starts asking for something new and the mind can follow.
And somehow along the way, one might even find themself learning to punch while this song hilariously plays in the background 🤣 as I did today.
That's one of the reasons I still love what I do.
Every discipline I explore gives me new ways of understanding movement, learning, the body, the mind, the emotions and how we connect to ourselves and others.
Infinite doors to keep coming back to tango (and life) with fresher eyes and better questions.
I was already curious about the next chapter and now even more 🔥
And you? What's your body asking you for?
