freedom

Do any of you have a hobby or just something that you do that is an escape? An escape from the world and life's problems? My escape...is dance. It is so powerful. I can express myself and my feelings without words. I don't have to talk or write something, I simply move. There is something so relaxing and free about letting your body take control. The burn in my legs, the sweat down my back, the tightening of my abs all release the very emotions and thoughts that I can't express in words. It is truly amazing. Being on the dance floor, to me, is like stepping into a new world. I'm not judged or misunderstood. I'm not stereotyped or a topic of gossip. This new world is real and honest. It's beautiful. I hope that when people watch me dance they can feel my love for it. I want them to feel as if they too are a part of this new world we are creating with movement. Ugh! It is just so awesome. I just recently had the opportunity to perform in the Weber State University Orchesis Dance Concert entitled, "DancEffect." It was absolutely amazing. I got to work with amazing dancers and I really learned and discovered how much I truly love to dance. Dance is my happy place. It's my passion. It's my "free."
