How does it feel when the spotlight shines down on you? When you stretch your arms, point your toes, hold your breath as the music flows into your body? You feel alive, strong and full of energy; you feel excitement and, perhaps, a bit of nervousness. Dance is a form of language that transcends not only cultures but also species. We may not have the ability to comprehend the sounds that male birds make, but we can instinctively interpret their gestures as they compete for a mate by showing off their dance moves. Similarly, before our ancestors developed linguistic skills, they communicated with each other through body language. They expressed their anger, hope and love with movement. Today, we continue to do the same; dance is a part of us and has always been. I may not immediately understand your language, culture or religious traditions, but you can tell me your story and I will listen; you can show me your story and I will watch.
