When I dance I.....

  Dance is a sport, to me it means self-expression to have the ability to express yourself and your emotions. When I dance I am in my own zone pretending like nobody is watching me but myself. I am free to express my thoughts through movement and show the talent I have been working on all my life. It is a way to relieve my stress or just to make me happy at the moment. The music usually takes away the train of thought and the rhythm is what keeps me moving. When I dance it helps me forget about any problems or obstacles I'm dealing with in life. There is never a time where you cant be yourself or have to worry about what people say or think of you. I think being able to communicate with others in dance by just using gestures is simply amazing. As Martha Graham once said "The body says what words cannot''. Telling a story with your body and becoming a character of whatever your trying to portray feels so good once you have actually accomplished it. The best feeling is learning a hard movement and continuously working on that movement to get it better, and having that awesome feeling once have accomplished it. Without dance I don't know where I would be in life. I think dance completes me in every way, when I don't dance my body feels off center or just weird because I didn't move. I guess I can say dance is my drug, I cant get enough of it and I never want to stop . When I dance I am truly myself and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I am so glad that I am a dancer and I am able to use my technique to the fullest. I hope to one day be able to teach others what I have learned and to continue doing what I love.


When I dance I am ME. :)
