Unveiling the Soul's Journey: A Dance Inspired by "River of Souls"

The haunting melody of "River of Souls" by Waterbone washes over me, weaving a tapestry of emotions that begs to be translated into movement. My mind travels beyond the notes, envisioning a dance that transcends mere entertainment and becomes a vessel for a cause close to my heart: the preservation of the Kayapo Tribe and their ancestral lands. 

 In this vision, the dance embodies a flowing, circular motion, echoing the imagery of a river – a lifeblood that sustains and connects. I picture myself wielding a hoop, its graceful loops mimicking the cyclical nature of life and the interconnectedness of all things. As I move, the focus shifts beyond the technical mastery of the dance to a deeper exploration of the song's essence. 

 The song evokes a sense of purity and love, a connection between souls traversing a timeless river. I aspire to capture this essence through the language of movement. Each step, each turn of the hoop, becomes a brushstroke on the canvas of my imagination, painting a picture of unity and shared humanity. The backdrop for this dance is far from ordinary. I envision myself performing amidst the grandeur of an old castle, its weathered walls imbued with history and a sense of timelessness. 

The contrast between the ancient setting and the contemporary dance style creates a fascinating dialogue, reminding us that the struggles for freedom and preservation are timeless, echoing across generations. My artistic expression is deeply intertwined with the music that inspires me. The name of each dance I create pays homage to the musicians who spark these creative flames. In this case, a heartfelt thank you to Waterbone for their music, which not only brings me joy but also ignites a passion for using my art to raise awareness and advocate for important causes. Through this dance, I hope to not only showcase artistic expression but also weave a call to action. By sharing this vision, I aim to inspire others to explore the causes they care about, contribute to their communities, and celebrate the interconnectedness of all living beings.

The vision of Eternal Dance Giselle


My name is Giselle, and I'm not just a dance instructor – I'm a passionate guide, a believer in the boundless potential of every dancer, and a champion for the diverse tapestry of artistic expression. My journey through the world of dance encompasses the grace of ballet, the raw emotion of contemporary, and a burning desire to empower individuals to explore the depths of their artistic selves. More than just steps: While I lead students through the intricate footwork of ballet and the captivating sequences of contemporary dance, my true aim goes beyond technical mastery. I strive to ignite a passion for movement, a love for the language of the body that transcends styles and forms. 
In my classes, dancers not only learn to pirouette and leap, but also to express their inner voice, tell their stories, and connect with the music on a deeper level. Nurturing artistic diversity: My vision extends beyond the confines of a single dance style. I believe that every dancer benefits from exploring a variety of artistic avenues. Whether it's the grace of ballet, the unbridled energy of contemporary, or the expressive freedom of improvisation, each form offers unique tools for self-discovery and artistic growth. 
By exposing students to a diverse spectrum of styles, I aim to nurture well-rounded dancers who are comfortable expressing themselves in their own unique voice, regardless of the artistic medium they choose. Unlocking potential: The most fulfilling aspect of my journey lies in witnessing the transformation within my students. It's seeing a shy beginner blossom into a confident performer, a hesitant explorer develop their own creative voice, and an individual overcome self-doubt and embrace their artistic potential. Witnessing these moments of growth and self-discovery fuels my passion and reinforces my belief in the transformative power of dance. Looking ahead: The future holds endless possibilities. I envision a world where dance is not just a performance art, but a cornerstone of personal growth and artistic expression. I dream of fostering communities where dancers of all backgrounds and styles can come together, support one another, and unleash their creative potential. Through my continued dedication to teaching and nurturing young talent, I strive to contribute to this vision and watch as the vibrant tapestry of dance continues to evolve and inspire.
