The Energy Dance is the expression of the pleasure of moving in a spontaneous and harmonious way. It is a synthesis of Jisei-kiko, Jisei-taichi and Jisei-budo that channels the flow of vital energy in movements that are not associated with any existing dance or exercise forms. It is essentially a dance of freedom.
The dance contributes to the mobility and strengthening of the spinal column, activating the chakras so as to absorb the ki of the earth and of the sky, and enabling energy to be released from the body. The dance can be considered a mobile and dynamic form of kiko that encompasses the 3 goals of Tokitsu Ryu : health, well-being and efficiency. Because of this, the dance is designed to evolve with time and adapt to the progress of each practitioner.
The Energy Dance can be practiced in three different ways. The first level is devised for those that are not very strong physically and wish to improve their state of health. In this case the dance is slow, gentle and supple and represents the extension of kiko to activate energy.
The second level is particularly appropriate for people that are seeking well-being. In this case, the dance is happy, the movements supple and delicate. It is possible to use different rhythms, sometimes slow, sometimes fast. The difference in execution lies in a greater tone of movement. The feeling of pleasure will always guide its gestures. This level is complementary to Jisei-taichi.
