ShadowStyle Improv - Scent of a Woman

One of the best ways to engage the emotions is with the senses.
Although often overlooked, the sense of smell can cause a deeply buried emotional response, usually related to a past memory. Before you dance, add a luscious or irresistible scent to the space around you by lighting a scented candle or wearing some of your favorite perfume.

Breathe deeply and accept any emotions or memories that arise. Let your
feelings mingle with the music; let your sensuous presence fill the
room; and then-- let your body fly.


For this improv and all the attached videos, I used my favorite perfume BVLGARI. I love how it smells like a blooming exotic flower from a lover; full of life, hope, and the anticipation of more to come *wink*.
