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!
