Dance

Have you ever danced so much that you had absolutely no energy left? Like, cannot move yourself to the nearest water tap? Cannot walk to the nearby seat? And, after dancing so much, did you ever feel like you wanted to dance more? How rewarding was it? It feels amazing, I know.

First things first, I cannot dance. I do the ganpati dance, that too occasionally. I mean I can't do real dance. Real dance steps. I guess I never really learned dancing. Never in school, nor in college, definitely not in the company. I have not picked up a dance form, and tried to learn it. But yeah, I want to learn though. If I can get more hours in my day, I would definitely spend a few of them learning to dance.

What captivates me in a dance? The fluidity of the dancers. There is nothing more mind blowing about a dancer than his/her fluidity of body movement. Not all possess it, and noticing it is also quite tough. I do know some great dancers among my friends, who are extremely fluid in their movement, and a few, who aren't. Then come the facial expressions. A simple dancer who seems to be enjoying what she/he is doing is infinitely more fun to watch than some dancer who is performing the most complex and demanding of steps, yet doesn’t seem to enjoy it. The dancers' eyes convey this vital piece of information. So, whenever you watch a dance, try to watch their movements, their expressions, their eyes. Some dancers put so much effort into little details, and you would be wasting their preparation if you did not take note of these details.

I want to learn this majestic art form. I want to learn it from someone, who is a fluid dancer. Not to dance in front of an audience, but just for myself. Just to express happiness occasionally through music and dance. And to stay in shape, obviously. And for fun!
