Education and Dance

You know what I like about dance? Is the freedom of expression. Don't let fear, rules and criticisms rule your expression and please don't attempt to control others with your fear, rules and criticisms. There is no wrong and there is no right, it is a movement from the heart that is truly dance. I enjoy watching the younger version of the well known dancers, while they had the creativity to develop their expression. Now all I hear and see is a control. Teaching others Rules (a form of oppression). Not teaching others to grow. Being so critical over Hip Hop and crushing expression with 'form' and 'Names of steps'. What about teaching MOVEMENT, Body awareness, an understanding of music, the strength and an independence to express from the heart. How have the educators of such an exceptional art such as dance forgotten that the core element is surrender and vulnerability. Being a teacher requires you to lift your students higher then you can go, for the process of evolution to be achieved.
