# Free Dance Movement

I’m not a dancer.

But **I am a juggler, and dancing is the ultimate juggling experience**. It requires no extra equipment and no prep–just a little bit of space, and (ideally) some music. I can roll with that.

Dancing makes me feel free in my body.

It makes me feel connected.

And it’s so much fun.

There’s nothing quite like a **3-minute dancing break** to get unstuck from a problem I’m facing at work. I purposefully make it ”tiny” (just one song) to reduce the resistance of starting. And I put zero pressure on making it pretty. I move as my body feels like. Sometimes it looks as a low-budget kung-fu movie. Sometimes it looks like I’m having a seizure. And sometimes it looks like a weird crossover of [Butoh dancing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ms7MGs2Nh8) with traditional [Polish folk dancing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NetnbP4E04). I don’t care.&#x20;

The thing is: the second I start to dance the “dots” connect in my head, and the problem I’m facing solves itself. All I need to do is move my body.

### Dance Challenges

[🎥](https://emojipedia.org/movie-camera/) [30-Day Dance Challenge](https://youtu.be/WxppPgDSgVc) with Silvia: we danced together every day for 30 days to see how it would impact our relationship. Spoiler alert: it was brilliant.

🎧 [Dancing Playlist on Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3TSHoXFiob7xOuVEuYOmpJ?si=zswaUc8ASMWpGvRZizdAPg): dancing to one song every day as a part of #playful movement focus area in [2020](/journal/notes/2020.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://heymichal.gitbook.io/journal/notes/dancing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
