As Laura stated, to dance is to express, to let those inner emotions release. The body can be utilized to express whatever emotion or thought a person may be experiencing. The body and movement are such natural tools of expression. I cannot help, but to observe peoples body expressions. How they walk, stand, sit, move or not move their hands when they speak, a persons eyes and even their mouth. All of these physical cues tells a lot about how a person is feeling at that very moment. The natural state of expression is done through the body. No verbal communication is needed to obtain an idea of how a person is feeling. There have been times when I have spoken to people and asked them" How are you today" and there first response is "Good" but , there facial muscles a drawn downward, they are slouching, speaking with no enthusiasm. Once you start speaking to them the truth comes out; how they are REALLY feeling.
Your body is your truth, it is the natural reflection of your state of mind.
Allowing your body to speak, allows your mind to release. Releasing that inner voice, allows you to let go of the baggage from days, months, years ago. Letting go is the only way we can move ahead. You can walk in grace or walk in place. Let go and just be. Dance is a beautiful tool, one that allows me to keep smiling, keep living and keep appreciating all that I have.
