Expressing My Creativity

I love to dance.  I am not a dancer, nor will I ever be.  I am, however, a person who enjoys letting my body flow to the music, and I experience so many emotions through allowing my body to ‘just be’ whatever the music tells it to be. 

I take clases….the adult – I’m not professional but I’m here anyway – lessons that sometimes remind us of our aging bodies.  But these lessons give us a release; we have time to ourselves, away from the daily grind, we are with friends and feel ‘safe’ to express ourselves, and we are challenged both mentally and physically.

I have danced in many styles through these lessons: Ballet, Lyrical, Contemporary, Hip Hop and even Flamenco.  Each style brings forth a new way to express myself.  Sometimes I have to concentrate so hard, self-expression is lost…that is when our teacher reminds us to ‘feel’ the music and let it happen. 

I will never be famous for my dancing, but I express myself through the movement of my body.  I feel the beats, pulses, rhythms and melodies of the music…I am creating a new me!
