We can live without food for many weeks, but without clean water, we would die very soon. Water can take many shapes. To dance the water element is to enter the world of shape-shifting in which we learn to surrender our attachment to one form and receive the gift of purification. 80% of our body is water. Water needs to be in balance with the other elements. Too much and we will drown, too little and we will dehydrate. The blend of earth and fire create water and air, in the dance, we call this process ‘fusion.’
