Dance While You Can

Dance opens a whole new world to you. A world where emotions and feelings play the major role and where your dreams and thoughts make you travel in the wide cosmos. But too often we stifle this world inside us before it is born. We never give this wonderful feeling a chance to touch us. Whereas this ecstasy can fill us and deliver from everything that holds us back from living a truly spectacular and enriched life. But we give into the pressures that life hurls at us and succumb to a life that is not lively at all.

We dance and sing around when we are kids. This is one main reason for the cheerfulness, optimism and divinity around children. As we grow up we engross ourselves so much into our daily life revolving around education, career, relationships and so much more that is inconsequential and just contributes to our dissatisfaction and anxiety. Though the importance of these parts of life cannot be denied, but to lose ourselves into all this is not justified. We lose the best years of our lives trying to make the future better without realizing that future never comes, it is always the present.

Dance is a wonderful thing that opens amazing opportunities for us. Opportunities that help us live better, that help us live us as beautifully as we can. So it is best to enjoy these youthful years in the most spectacular way. Join a dance class, go for a dance camp. Let your foot loose and let the energy absorb you. The group energy at a dance camps invigorates you and fills you with the abundance of life.

So you can stop complaining now and give life a chance. Give life a chance to sweep you off your feet. Let life take you in its arms and sway you to a dreamy life where all is good and all is fair.

Dance Divine Dance….!!!

"We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, and we create the dreams". Whoever uttered these words, said one of the most basic truths of a dancer’s life. The variety and the depth of emotions that a dancer experiences are much more intense than other people do. When the rhythm and emotion comes into synchronization, it results in the most beautiful and hypnotic movements. The divinity of dance can only be felt by someone by who has known and experienced the ecstasy that comes from a swirl or the unbounded exhilaration you feel with a leap across the floor.

"To dance is to be out of you - Larger, more beautiful, and more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking."- Agnes De Mille. When you dance, you are in communion with the entire universe. Your each and every faculty is responding to an energy that is beyond the grasp otherwise. Every atom in your body is reverberating with energy, with passion and with the grandeur of life. When you dance, you have the ultimate power of being happy regardless what is there on the outside.

"The Dancer believes that his art has something to say which cannot be expressed in words or in any other way than by dancing... there are times when the simple dignity of movement can fulfill the function of a volume of words. There are movements which impinge upon the nerves with a strength that is incomparable, for movement has power to stir the senses and emotions, unique in it. This is the dancer's justification for being, and his reason for searching further for deeper aspects of his art." Doris Humphrey, 1937
