International Day of Dance
|
"On April 29th, we invite you to celebrate International Dance Day.
You
are dancers, all of you.
Life moves you; life dances you.
To dance is
to investigate and celebrate the experience of being alive. Like life,
a dance creates and destroys itself in every moment. Like love, it is
beyond reason. Ephemeral as breath, concrete as bone, dance is made of
you. You sculpt space. You write with your body in a wordless language
that is deeply understood. You grace the space within and around you
when you dance.
Force, trajectory, inertia, and recovery: dancing is a
ride, a duet between your instinct and imagination.
To dance is to
heighten your experience of the present moment. Your body is your
location - when you dance, you are profoundly engaged in being there.
To dance is to feel the resonance of your life, to delight in your existence. To be human is to be danced by experience, energy and emotion.
On International Dance Day, let's celebrate the life that moves us."
