#6 Just Dance

Just Dance

There is such a passion in dance that can't be found anywhere else. -Kylie K.

        Last year when writing an essay about dance I was stumped. I had absolutely no clue what to write about. I looked over at my friend Kylie and began discussing what to write about. As we talked Kylie rattled off the quote I have written above. This one quote inspired me so much. 

        After speaking with Kylie I wrote my paper with such ease. While writing the paper I realized that dance really does have such passion! As I continued to write my paper I found another quote by a famous dancer named Martha Graham, "Dance is the hidden language of the soul". This quote holds so much truth. When choreographing a dance you can make the dance strong and powerful, you can make it dark, you can make it pleasant and happy! You can really portray any feeling you want through movements of the body.

        After writing this paper I found myself putting more and more of my personal feelings into my dancing. I participate in a dance class at a dance studio named Creative Rhythms Dance Studio and when we aren't learning choreography or doing some other form of structured activity I find myself just dancing and letting my feelings from that week flow out through my body, it is honestly one of my best sources to relieve stress and "vent". 

        Before Kylie said this quote I would just dance and do what I was taught, there really wasn't to much feeling that went into it but after this quote I have completely transformed my dancing from a structured activity to a time when I let loose and allow my feelings to be released from my body. I find that when I don't dance for a period of time, I am unhappy and grouchy with the people around me.

        I don’t know what I would do without dance because there is no other outlet for me that allows such stress relief. Even as the years have gone on I have continued to further my dancing skills and allow more and more of my feelings to show. I wish that everyone could let loose the way that I know many dancers do. I love dance and honestly I don’t see myself ever giving it up because first of all, I don’t think that the people I associate with could stand me if I didn't and secondly because It is one of the only things that I do well and thuroghly enjoy doing. All in all, dancing just makes the world a happier place.

So there you have it kids, make the world and yourself happy and just dance, it’ll be okay ;]

See what I did there? But for real kids, Just Dance.
