Dance the Pain Away is my healing therapy dance that helps manage the chronic pain I have due to sport injuries, joint dysfunctions and osteoarthritis. I used to be a Fitness Instructor but now I dance with no verbal cues and encourage people to move with their pain. Some days I dance sitting down, others in bed and when I can dance standing barefeet on my large yoya mats dancefloor with light shows it is with all my gratitude that I thank the various Ecstatic Dance DJs around the world that accompany me along my personal journey. For me, Dance the Pain Away has replaced handful of various pain medications prescriptions that my body can no longer tolerate due to too many side-effects. Thank you Ecstatic Dance Global Community.
