What is dance?
What is dancing? When you’re a dancer you sometimes forget. For everyone else in the world dancing is when they let loose and shake it. For me it was dancing along to ‘Hey Mickey’ at the end credits of ‘Bring It On.’ If you ask a dancer what dancing is it’s a sport, a passion, but it’s choreographed moves, pointed toes, tight abs, flat backs, turn out, and jumps and turns. Dance becomes technique for a dancer. What dance really is, what I sometimes forget, is that dance is freedom. It’s closing your eyes and not thinking about what you look like for a second and just moving. I feel fit, I feel beautiful, and I feel happy and all it takes is a few seconds and a good song. That’s what dance is.
