The Temple of the Embrace - El templo del abrazo
Two bodies meet. From the solar plexus, energy flows outward, reaching the partner’s heart, which receives it and returns it. They move together, not following learned steps, but guided by the energy that passes between them. The music leads. The embrace is both bridge and breath, their shared intention sets the pace. Each moment is contact, each gesture, surrender. The dance does not end: it is energy, embrace, music, a journey of silence and connection. ___________________
