A short while ago I had a wonderful a-ha moment. After pregnancy and the birth of my soon to be three year old I stopped dancing (stopped having sex as well) and my root chakra became so blolcked and twisted that I was going to a chiropractor twice a week for months. I couldn't stand or walk or sit in one place for too long. I couldn't lift heavy objects. I was uncomfortable and my body, and energy was tied up into knots. I was dissatisfied with the new changes to my body after pregnancy as well. A few months ago this began to change. I began to move, bend, twist with Yoga and then I remembered that I used to dance a few times a week before my daughter and that I loved it, needed it, missed it, and was aching for it. So I danced, in my kitchen wildly and lovingly and a dialogue opened up between my body and mind, then I found some videos on YouTube of tribal fusion bellydance and my heart began aching again. I realized that when I went out dancing there had always been an element of the tribal bellydance in me, moving through me. Also, on those days when my lower back is achy i just bellydance the ache out. Also seeing women of all shapes and sizes in the costume of the dance is so affirming to the image of woman's body. I am much more comfortable with my momma belly that is now part of me. So, It's great to dance in my kitchen for myself and with my daughter, but it is not enough. I need to find dancers. I need to find community. I need to find a space to dance for my emotional,physical, spiritual well being. I feel like I am going to explode with the desire. But here in Bridgewater, CT (translation, one-horse town) I have no idea where to begin. Videos are not enough. Experience is everything. Is anyone near CT that could help point me in a good direction?
