“Great dancers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion.” –Martha Graham
“I want to dance but don’t know how to.” This statement is something that we come across almost everywhere. Well, it’s not about whether you know how to; it’s about whether you enjoy dancing. Dance is a beautiful language that people use to express their emotions and feelings. Be it a club song or Baby shark do do , a true dancer is one who sways on both. So, just enjoy your fullest because that is all we need.
“Will dancing fit someone who is plus-sized like me?” This is yet another question that prevents people from showcasing their abilities. Well, the size of your body should not limit the size of the dreams you pursue. Whether it is Western or traditional, all you need to have is confidence in yourself and a big smile on your face while performing.
One might be thinking, why is dance here being related to the feelings or the inner self of a person where it is merely a physical activity
DANCE IS ESSENTIALLY EMOTION IN MOTION
Consider a memorable performance you’ve seen; what made it memorable? What makes your favorite dancers so lovely?
Actually, it is the inner feelings that distinguish dancers as artists rather than athletes, and it is usually the way they share something of their own soul through their dance.
So, you see till now our focus during or for any dance performance was only on mastering the steps, coordination and that everything is technically perfect. Who knew what really goes on inside a dancer while performing? Did you?
NOW IT’S TIME TO LET GO AND REALLY DANCE
Let us now remove the mask that we were all hiding behind and gain freedom from every useless and pointless comment we’ve been receiving from anyone up to this point or that we fear, and simply let it go because the thoughts of a person with limited thinking cannot limit our dreams or whatever we want to do.
Start to take up dance for the pleasure of experiencing the body and the surrounding environment instead of just restricting yourself from doing it. Are you ready to give a dynamic performance? Sometimes, auditions are like exams if you score good you are benefitted.
What happened now? Wanna dance, but afraid of rejection?
You should not be afraid of any exam. Exams are designed to provide you with a platform to test your abilities. Relax! not giving a lecture on “exams.”
Well, there are some places where a candidate must go through an audition stage in order to enter a specific dance platform, but the good news is that there is no such entrance test to allow dance into your life.
Dance, as previously stated, is a language that connects souls. A person adapts to this language in a similar way as he or she adapts to his or her mother tongue; it may take some time, but the person eventually masters the language.
Basically, when you’re on stage, it’s just you and that adrenaline rush; there are no thoughts or comments in your mind, be they good or bad. Everything becomes extremely intense, but you should only strive for one thing: enjoyment. When you return from the stage and you realize how much you delighted the audience, that will no doubt be the most incredible feeling of your life.
Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, and your breathing. It’s the rhythm of your life. It’s the expression in time and movement of happiness, joy, sadness, and envy.
