006 Natasha Arora on the power of dance - a podcast by Clare Foale

This is an especially joyful episode. I chat with Natasha Arora. Natasha is a dancer and a dance teacher. She holds dance classes where women, mainly mums, can dance to retro music and rediscover forgotten aspects of themselves.

So this episode is about dancing as self care.

Natasha has a beautiful insight into how dancing physically helps us. She also articulates how dancing has helped her through tough periods in her life. It made her feel like she was escaping. Becoming someone else.

As she reflects back, she has now come to realise that dancing actually helps her recognise and reclaim who she truly is.

What we talked about:

• Dance was a form of escape for her during troubled times in her childhood
• The importance of doing more of what lifts your energy. That's where your values are.
• Music and dance is about letting go
• Dance helps bring back your inner diva. Your lost mojo.
• Natasha's classes are intended to help you remember how it feels to be the most confident you
• Dance helps remind you that you still have 'that hot sauce in your bag'
• Having a regular dance class helps 'to remind me that I have that part of my personality, which is jovial and wants to be lighthearted'
• Self care can be having coffee on the balcony with amazing view
• Adding new, positive rituals to crowd out the bad ones, so as not to feel deprived
• Keep doing the things you love
• Clare's challenge: dance! Film yourself. Post it with the hashtag #ZimZumDance
