I am a dancer. Through and through. I couldnt stop it if I wanted to. It is in me. It is me.
I can barely begin to explain what dancing is to me. Or what it does for me. It allows me to let go and have fun. It allows me to escape when Im not yet ready to deal. It allows me to say things that I cannot put into words. It allows me to feel free if even for a moment. I would be lost if I could not dance.
I am completely, head over heels in love with the show So You Think You Can Dance? I am so grateful that there is finally something showcasing the actual and real talent and beauty that is what I love so much about dance. Every episode leaves me glued to the screen begging for more.
My favorite Choreographer Mia Michaels choreographed this dance. It is one of my new favorites (most of my faves are by Mia). It is a story of addiction and it proves so well that somethings are better explained/portrayed with dance rather than words. I know I couldnt relay everything I get out of this piece with pen and paper. I have to have watched this a hundred times and I still get goose bumps every time.
DOES DANCE SPEAK TO YOU?
I'm not a dancer, at all, but I also watch So you think you can dance and I also saw this piece. It's AMAZING! Mia is brilliant every single time!
ReplyDeleteThe project unites so many awesome cheographers and dancers!
(:
I would be lost without dance as well.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like letting go and being free, dancing however you want. I also love choreographing and I've just become a dance teacher! I even dance at work sometimes when no one is here.
I like Wade Robson's dances the best on SYTYCD :D
