the heart of the matter


I believe that the world is nothing without dance, art and movement. I believe that my body was made to be a performer. I believe that my true home, the time i feel the most alive, is when i'm performing on stage. I believe that not just anybody can be a dancer. It takes truth, gut honest truth to truly dance. and vulnerability. I believe dance is letting people see inside your soul. Your most private thoughts, emotions, secrets and possessions lie in the way you move your body to a song lyric. I believe dance is what words cannot say. I believe i am the most beautiful when i am dancing. I believe everybody that dances is beautiful. I find myself speechless when i watch a dance that truly is out of this world, the fact that some people out there have the ability and the talent that they do truly stuns me. I believe that the most amazing feeling in the world is having a friend that can dance next to you and can dance well with you. My most memorable times have been with my dance friends up on stage. Dance is life changing to me. Inspirational and without it i would not be me. nor would i be whole. I took a dance class from a random teacher a couple weeks ago and cried because i realized how much i truly love the art of dance. And his words of wisdom, about being a smart dancer and how he couldn't physically live without his dancing, made me melt. It was then i realized that this is what i was put on this earth to do. I was born to be a dancer, a performer, an actor, an artist, a storyteller, an author and everything else that molds somebody into a dancer. My bones were made for dancing. My thoughts were made to be danced. My stories were made to be told through movement. and I truly, with all of my heart and soul, believe i will dance until i die.
This is me. my secrets. my thoughts and emotions. myself as a human.

  2. Pardon me Miss,
    I simply wanted to tell you that your writing and the heart it comes from is as equally captivating as your dancing! I so appreciate well written pieces. Your poetry is especially memorable but I may be biased as poetry has a way with me as no other literary form. I'm very honored to share the great State of Florida with you !!!

    Kindest Wishes

  5. When you write, you hold back. When you dance alone, you hold back. When you dance with others, they hold you back. We see only brief flashes of your hidden energy.

    Let out that energy and power when you dance, when you write, and when you live. They'll make you the best there is, Emily.
