Hello!

We are creatures of expression. We express who we are in our opinions when we talk, in the way we dress, in the relationships we maintain (or not 😝), in the activities we do or avoid doing, and so on. We are always expressing to each other our will and our mood (and sometimes our bad mood 😒).

However, to live in a society, we know (or we should know 🙃) that we can’t do whatever we want all the time. 

There are significant consequences to our acts, and sometimes they can be really harsh. So, as a result, we learn (or keep trying to learn) how to control ourselves and how to better express ourselves. This is a good thing to develop and be able to do. And our parents would be proud of us if we had learned that a little bit sooner. 😂

Even so, life is never so simple. There’s always a catch. Keeping these thoughts and feelings inside of us does not mean that they disappear and stop existing. They are still there, and if blocked for a long period, they can become a problem.

So, what do we do? 

We need to find some way to express them without starting wars in our lives. And I’m not saying that they’re only anger or hate. It could be the desire to dress a certain way but fear it would be judged inappropriate. It could be that you’re really happy and want to share some funny comments, but everyone around you is too serious or too busy. Or it can even be that you want to cry, but that would be seen as totally crazy or a sign of weakness. If you live long enough in society, you know how often you are forbidden (by others or by yourself) to fully express your true feelings. 😢

This is not a new problem for us human beings. It’s been around us since we decided to stick together and not be running alone. And as a society, we have created amazing tools to help us on this journey of life, and we keep exploring and creating new things along the way.

And I know one thing that is really powerful (and you already know by now 💃🕺). 

Ballroom dancing can get deep into our emotions and expressions. It can help show what is inside of us and can open doors that we thought never existed. 

You can show happiness and make people laugh with you by dancing with them. Or you can play with your sexy moves and create desire and attraction. Or you can fly through the dance floor dragging all the eyes to you. You can set the tone and create the mood you want. The best part is that there is no right or wrong way to do it because they’re all there for you to tell your personal story.

Ballroom dance mimics life, and like in that, you can choose what you want to express. Let yourself out of your “box”. Let yourself be alive and feel. And just like in our own life, you have the power to decide which steps you want to take. And much like in dancing, as soon as you decide, go all out and let it be the best one!

Big hugs.
