Much like music can make my stomach flip, make me cry or fill me with unexpected happiness, so can dance.
I remember the first time I went to see Ballet, it was ‘The Sleeping Beauty’ (I tagged along on my friends Christmas work do) and it moved me to tears. Since then I have been to see other performances and each one of them has moved me and kept me captivated. And it’s not just ballet, it’s all dance. I went to see ‘Into the Hoods’ 3 times and each time I left feeling happy, light on my feet and wishing I could street dance.
I used to do Irish dancing when I was little and really enjoyed it, I wish i had kept it up but after one Feis and one medal for my efforts I stopped going. A few years later I took on Irish Set Dancing and kept with it until the classes were cancelled.
To tell a story without words and have the audience guessing and knowing what you want to say is, to me, amazing. I love it!
