INTUITIVE DANCE | Inaê Moreira

“Our ancestors always danced, they knew that since everything in nature has movement, moving in a conscious way was to be in full balance with the cosmos. These dances for fertility or to celebrate a harvest are recorded in drawings on the walls of Merkuts of ancient Kemet, and also come to us when we worship our Yoruba ancestry – the dance of the Orixás. I believe our spirit holds this wisdom. We know how to dance, intuitively. I invite us to awaken this power, here and now, orbiting with the stars, reborn with each moon, like everything that is alive.”

OBSERVE THE SENSATIONS, SILENCE, DANCE WITH THE LUNGS, SPIRAL IN A STATE OF PRESENCE.
THE MOVEMENTS WE CARRY IN OUR DEEPEST MEMORY FIND A SPACE TO EXPRESS OURSELVES FREELY.

This project, which was born in 2018 in the city of Salvador/Bahia, was conceived by Inaê Moreira, with the purpose of bringing together other bodies and awakening their creative powers through Dance. A sensitive platform, aimed at self-care and maintaining our creativity. Sharing Afrakan ancestral knowledge about the body, holistic health and black magic, we have traveled to São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Paraná, Fortaleza, and other countries like Mexico and the USA. Our dream is to be a fertile ground to sow dancing dreams and reap transforming experiences.

TESTIMONIALS

“Dancing intuitively is receiving the touch, the ashé, the energy that resides in the palm of a woman's hand, dancing intuitively is stepping on wet grass; walk with eyes closed; to be led by unknown people to dance intuitively is to feel the movement of this body that draws with me what I am, but I don't know how to follow the intuition that it is necessary not to be afraid, that I too am a dance and that this dance needs to be launched out of me."
