My name is Jesus S. Acosta and I dance to connect with myself and others. When I move my body to the rhythms of music and nature, I find truth, joy and community.
I believe
Dropping into my body –through breathing, movement, feelings and sensations– is fundamental for being a whole, grounded and joyful human being.
Welcoming all aspects of ourselves, the parts that thrive and the parts that ache is the foundation of our relational lives.
Dancing from inside, listening and following our primal rhythms, is the way for sweet attunement and flows in our tango.
An environment of heartfelt embracing heals everyone.
Silence and pauses are essential to know what’s true, breathe into the moment and know where you are.
How did I get here?
I woke up one morning with a nagging voice inside, a desire to start a new creative project. It was November 2019 and I was hungry for expression.
A weekly 5Rhythms practice fuelled my desire to share findings and thoughts triggered by freely moving my body in a collective of dancers.
Very soon, in collaboration with Ieva Kelpsaite, Dance in Conversation was born, a confluence of perspectives, a community engaged in understanding how dancing transforms our lives.
The moon and its magic radiance, and being close to nature and its teachings is the current state of affairs I thank my soulmate Tilda Storm for.
In the last few years, the Embodied Intimacy community has become my nook for learning to be a real, loving, and embodied man.
I crave solitude with the same intensity as I long for a hug. There is beauty in connecting to oneself while expecting a rain of others’ love. It’s where I am today: Into me seeing, and finding others.
