Dizziness, furthermore, is referred to as Postural Hypotension, and this alerted me to the relationship between the body (posture) and the brain. It occurs with a fall of blood pressure; a concentration of blood to the head after handstands can then impair and constrain our way of thinking.
Dizziness can actually lead to a preoccupation with health, panic or anxiety, according to medical research, all negative mentalities; our mind is fragile and apparently volatile in accordance with our changing movements, and the way we position ourselves in space.
Of course other ways of thinking, new perspectives, and other states of mind are sought after during dance, and for the most part, it is people's moving that brings the happiness they learn to associate with dancing of all kinds. Some will dance for peace of mind, and some will dance to turn anger into serenity, energy into focus. It is a two-way street, also with the emotions we feel reflecting themselves in our movements, and constraining them to be performed in a specific way, both in the everyday and on stage.
