Review by Caroline (310506) Rating (9/10) Review
by Caroline This book combines lively and candid autobiography, with a history of the development of Sacred Circle Dance since its introduction at Findhorn by Bernard Wosien in 1976. June Watts speaks movingly of her connection with Terpsichore, the Muse of the Dance. The book also functions as a dance manual, exploring technique and form whilst emphasizing the inner spirit. Clear distinctions are drawn between Sacred Circle Dance, folk dancing and more popular forms, such as salsa. She explains that the circle is the oldest dance form on the Earth and that it is predominantly the awareness of energy that puts sacred circle dance on a different level. Sacred Circle Dance in a gentle healing way brings body, mind and spirit together. It
relieves stress, releases creative energy and helps the dancer
feel both centred and connected. It is meditation in movement. There is something vast in this book which links the reader to the heart of culture, the heart of art - the heart of ‘The Dance’ that is life. It is a valuable and original contribution to the body of literature on creative movement. It
is very accessible and will appeal to anyone who longs to dance,
but has never quite found the right form; as well as being inspirational
for dancers, body workers, therapists and expressive movement
teachers of all genres. |
