danser votre coeur....Dance your heart out !

Its beauty in motion
Its a way of life
Its my strongest emotion
Dance is me !

I never really thought it would come to me of the importance that it holds for me now. When in school,not many people thought of me as a dancer,maybe i myself didn't. But i always loved to dance.
With time,i only got more interested,more passionate about learning the art. Unlike other lucky kids,for a very long time i didn't get to go to dance classes. But ultimately,when i did it was a great learning experience and it continues to be so.
Coincidentally, i started to write this article at the time of my dance rehearsals for an intercollege event.
I have always felt that the power of dance has been underestimated.
Dance is not just a synchronised set of mechanical movements,its a lot more than the dynamism of the body. It is an embodiment of ideas and emotions. Watching a skilled dancer gracefully pave his way through the routine,exhibiting a blend of emotions and thoughts,works beautifully to convey a story.
Quoting from The Immortals of Meluha,"A dance without bhav(emotion) is like a body without a soul.When the emotions of a dancer participate,they wouldn't even need to remember the steps,the steps come on their own.The bhav is something that you cannot learn.It comes to you if you can create the space in your heart for it.".
A mesmerising dance performance,is not only a treat to watch,but also acts as a powerful medium to send accross a message. The beauty of the art lies not only in its lyrical power, but also in its ability to bring a sense of togetherness in celebration and joy.Not until recent, has dance been put to use as a behavioural and cognitive therapy to reduce stress and help heal serious diseases.

What dance has taught me and what i know for sure ,is that you can be anything,if you put your heart and soul into it.
So let go of all inhibitions, and dance your heart out !
