Great! As a lover of Balkan folkdancing, I understand completely what this about.

guys....you should think about giving everyone "bell anklets". ive done some workshops this way.. very succsessful, ensures that everyone moves together. i like to think of us as a giant centipede where each of our "feet" is like one of the "segmented legs". the flow of the centipede is important

This is a way, among others, involving the expression of music in the form of body movement that focuses the mind on the body`s

rhythmic, improvisational flow. The mind is following the body, and the body is following the music. The music, as the organizing principal, is designed for this explicit purpose, to lead to the exploratory energy system. It requires a single-minded willingness to follow the interpretation of the body into the feel of the music. Thanks for sharing,

Some good points made. In the military, the feet are instrumental in the rhythms of marching--which, by the way, everyone seems to 'get'.

The stepping and clapping makes me think of flamenco rythms in ultra slow motion. Funny how all these people look like each other.

Auzio,

On occasion the students will have a shaker in one hand.

had my first experience of unity trance (nature mystical whatever you call it) after sessions in a german humanistic/integral "rehab". it made me investigate rhythm and find hemi-sync but thats not a substitute cause taketina is not just a rhythm affects brain thing. its also or mostly a group and heart thing (set and setting). i had a inner process that joint muliple taketina sessions of two hours over several days. only one session would not have been enough to get it. longer breaks .... bad
