Hiya Daniella,
I have always liked Dance music , and read your blog with interest .which got me thinking.The best I FEEL is now, as Hormones have changed my body balance and disposition .I have and feel a HIP sway, when I listen to Music,it feels natural
IN previous times [pre transition]This movement and feeling where not accesible [ angst and unease got in the way.i remember in my teens and early twenties a few people commented and siad I was a good Dance,butr that I appeared lost in the Music, and not dancing like the other GUYS[in a preditory fashion].
Nowadays I always have some music on when I can , and find that my posture as much as anything else has changed and become more relaxed and moveable[ less rigid , top heavy].
in short -shoulders back,Arms looseand free palms facing[ready to carry,hug not to box grab or snatch].head is now up not down
-breating from your stomach, not your Chest,relaxed not tense upper body
-get that lumbar spine curve , so it follows Booty now in the right position
- so now you are in Female Dance mode, having removed all the top heavy rigid posturing bits, and a lovely moveable centre of motion in your waist to sway.
At this point I am just going to show my age , as I disappear to ABBA GOLD ..Donna
Hi Daniella-
I have from the very beginning loved to dance. In retrospect, I believe that it was always my female inner core screaming for joy when I danced. All of the girls wanted to dance with me because my steps were artistic and enjoyable. In recent years, I have started going out as Jacqueline to dance parties. I must say that the joy of this experience has exceeded all expectations. I am even more female when I dance. I love to move my body and show my curve to myself and others, and I just enjoy over the top the feeling of movement and freedom.
If I could sing with a very female voice, everything would be complete.
Jacqueline
