Ecstatic and Meditative Dance

I've been taking 5Rhythms and BodyMind Dancing classes lately in pursuit of my movement therapy certificate, and it's been interesting. I never thought of dance class as a way of expanding my mind, my knowledge of myself, or my knowledge of the universe. Dance class has always felt like a good physical release, but adding the mindful layer to it as well really deepens the experience and makes the learning more specific. Good stuff.
