A Ride the Wave class with Tierra Karou launching Dance Alive's February theme: Inner Authority — Lead from the Source. The entire practice is an invitation to follow your breath all the way down into the pelvic bowl — the space between your hip bones, tailbone, and pubic bone — and discover the power that lives there. You explore the pelvis in every direction, play with gathering and harnessing energy through squeezes and contractions, and then let that power ripple out through your whole body. The practice asks you to keep your mind in your pelvis as you dance, so that leadership — your knowing — comes from a bodily source rather than your thoughts.
