Dance of Shiva Change Forward Movement Explained

The Change Forward Movement is the second movement we can use to change planes. It is like doing a Change Plane Movement and a Forwards Movement together where the Change Plane movement takes the arm to the corresponding position in the other plane while the Forward movement takes the arm to the next position in the same plane.

Where a Change Plane might just go from A to 1, the Change Forward Movement goes from Position A to Position 2, then from Position 2 to Position C, then from Position C to Position 4 and then from Position 4 back to Position A. So like the Forwards movement (or the Backward movement) a sequence of Change Forward Movements can be done so that the arm travels a loop of four points, alternating planes during each movement.

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.
