Dance of Shiva Change Backward Movement Explained


The Change Backward Movement is the reverse of the Change Forward Movement. Where the Change Forward movement combines a Change Plane movement with
a Forward Movement the Change Backward movement is a combination of a Change Plane and a Backward movement... So starting from Position A we would go
to Position 4, then to Position C to Position 2 and then back to Position A again. Here again we have the possibility of a repeated movement taking the arm
continuously through 4 positions, one after the other.

About the dance of shiva and me

When I first read about Andrey Lappa's "Dance of Shiva" I was intrigued by the notion of spiral movements of the arms used to generate the flow of energy and bestow the practitioner with special powers.

I have yet to develop special powers but the Dance of Shiva has helped me to become smarter, improve my mind-body coordination and help me see connections. Perhaps those in and of themselves are "special powers," special enough for me to want to share this art.
