Notes
Medieval Spanish music (steps adapted from Bojarka)
The title means ìOn Holy Groundî
When the music slows and the chant begins,
hold hands in the circle and drink in the listening
.
This is an excellent dance to use when facilitating a circle and
about to move into a new depth. Very often I will dance in one area, preparing
the emotional base to the event , and then when the time is right, I will
teach this dance (which is fluid and quite simple) and dance in a long
line into another area. In this new area (room or lawn or grove in a wood),
the arrow is released directly at the target of the soul.
.
How can I love song be on holy ground some may ask. When I was
a lad of about twelve my mother took me aside and said, ìDo you know the
most holy prayer God gave to humans?î I listened and waited. she looked
truly in my eyes and said. ìIt is when a woman and a man make love.î
.
The sweet and haunting sound of this song is so moving and deep,
that often I will not mention a word of the translation. I will simply
teach the very simple dance and then, just after I turn on the music, join
the circle and say, '... on holy ground
...'
.
