Bellydance

Today I would share an ambition that I have for this year. Since some time (two years or a little more), I practice the Arabic Dance in an Academy, every week. I find a beauty place in the dance. I discovered that is a difficult experience, but, not only for the discipline that you need (and the movements or dissociations), also is for other things… I think that one has many secrets or repressed things that expresses in our body and in our movements, so, if you practice dance, you need confront your own ghost that are part of our life, but is some that can’t to talk or express with the language.

The bellydance (or any dance really), need too much discipline, too much dissociation, too much body control and too much elongation. So, I was started knowing nothing, with my body very rigid, but now, I could develop myself slowly, though I’m very far to be an expert. For this reason I try to be best, so I take class of yoga (for my elongation) and ballet (for my posture and elongation). All this for improve myself in Arabic dance.

So, my ambition is to progress and be better, because I learned to love this beauty type of dance. And thanks to this dance, I’m in salsa and tango, because a learned to love the dance in general.

Today I will talk about my favorite Chilean poet. His name is Gonzalo Rojas. This poet was born in 1916 and he died a few years ago (in 2011). He studied law and literature in the University of Chile, he was a teacher to.  He was recognized for his work in all Latin American, and he was awarded with the national literature prize (in 1992), Cervantes prize (in 2003), and others, but I think, Rojas deserved nobel prize for literature.  

I think his poetry is extraordinary, is very beauty and simple though sometimes is complicated to. I love his poetry because, with simple words through his poetry, Gonzalo Rojas express and transmit many emotions.

Rojas wrote about many things in his work, for example, about politics, about life, about love and  heartbreak, even about silence or darkness. So, his work also has a lot observation about the thing of life and environment. He died in his 98 years, was considered an influential poet for Latin American, also, his poetry has been translated in many idioms.

My favorite poems of him are “Al silencio” “qué se ama cuando se ama” “Retrato de mujer”, and many others really…
