How does dancing make you feel? Dance allows you to express, connect, release, remember and rejoice. Dance is a silent, universal language transcending age, era and culture. A baby bobs to “baa baa black sheep”, a Sufi spins in surrender, Indigenous Australians commune through corroboree — all dancing to the same eternal rhythm.
Are you moved by dance? Who could forget the choreography highs of Ginger and Fred, Singing in the Rain, Flashdance, Fame, Footloose, Dirty Dancing, Saturday Night Fever, West Side Story and La La Land’s opening sequence?
Dance moves you because you’re made to move. According to quantum physics, everything is in perpetual motion. Electrons in your body whirl around in an atomic dance, creating the appearance of solid matter, though you’re actually 99.9 per cent space.
Nature’s dance is pervasive as plants sway, waves flow, flames dart, birds soar and stars swirl. Dance creates harmonious communion with one’s internal and external environment. Though there are endless excuses not to trip the light fantastic, everyone can enjoy and evolve through dance.
