“Dance is escapism”

Escapism from the usual world. A way to express my feelings to music. A technical challenge to accomplish; good exercise for my mind and body. A wonderful way to connect with others.

Dance is an expression of myself. It is my spirituality, my prayer in movement. A physical expression of the beauty of who I am as a human.
