Dance Poetry

I teach a workshop titled Poetry In Motion where I weave dance with words. I love poetry and encourage my students to write poetry about their dance which I will post on this page. Please feel free to contribute.

Here is a poem written by a man who attends the group classes regularly:

Joy (by T.Z.)

 

As I wake to the dance,

     That I Am,

          Speaking in fluidity,

 

It fills my heart’s open spaces,

and sets my motion free.

 

Now this freedom’s bending,

Points a way for dreams to be.

 

We step the circle of wakeful dreaming,

It fills our heart’s open spaces.

 

Now this freedom’s bending,

Points a way for us to see,

 

In group as one our footsteps fill

Your floor with laughter so joyfully.
