"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
