the Wedding Singer :)

My friends got married this weekend in a valley in Noordhoek! Surrounded by trees and water and sea. It was Inspirational, my favourite part was singing their first dance song. Later, when everything was over, we climbed up the mountain to their tiny hut and I played well into the night for them in front of the fire, a blissful moment, this is how ceremonies should be. It reminded me of an old Celtic/ Viking weddding, this part. I was so happy to be a part of this day, it will be in my memory forever and hopefully theirs. Pics.








A little music video we shot in Kommetjie :)


Beach, Nature, Fire, Monastery.

I want more
I want more of you
I'm not happy in this room
I've got everything to lose
I want more than you do
You move like water your mutable
you trickle when I want floods, a fire
You constantly changing your polarity
Am i just throwing my fire at your sun?

What good is that, what good is that
What good is that, what good is that?

I want more
I want more of you
I'm not happy in this room
I've got everything to lose
I want more than you do
You move like water your mutable
you trickle when I want floods, a fire
You constantly changing your polarity
Am i just throwing my fire at your sun?

What good is that, what good is that
What good is that, what good is that

Dancing under a full Moon



Tonight was my third dance.
I've gone three different times with three different teachers.
Each experience was completely unlike the other.

Is it the teachers that make each dance different?
Or is it that you bring a different energy to the dance each time, that you're in a different place.
Each time I dance I learn something new, shift perspective and go through healing. All without saying a word. The first time I danced I shifted sadness, the second time I danced I discovered joy, and tonight when I danced I discovered the ecstatic dance .

Tonight we danced under a full moon.
Our teacher Jax Jai is a fresh soul. She has a great musical knowledge and an amazing voice. What I gained was complete transformation, from a low energy state to a high energy state. This kind of dance is a sound journey workshop that takes you through the stages of transformation using movement and dance and breath work. A kind of breath work I'd never done before. It's called the fire dance, our breath is the fire, and the music is ecstatic. The music acts as a catalyst for you to allow healing to take place. This kind of dance you dance with your eyes closed so it's a personal space. And the dance lasts for about an hour and a half.

I honestly didn't see myself doing this two months ago. But all that has changed.
You should try this if you want to: try something new, discover new things about yourself, uncover wisdom, get a great workout, and listen and dance to some amazing music.  All the while Surrounded by great people who hold the space for you. All you need to bring is an open mind and a ready heart.

This style of dancing happens every Thursday from half past six at  Studio 24 Queenspark Road, Salt River.
Thanks dancers and see you on the dancefloor!
