Dance...

Technically speaking:
The incorporation and synchronization of the body movements and facial gestures with the rhythm, the beats and the music is what constitutes the Dance.

Dance is in every aspect of the Nature.
It is in the cold morning breeze, as it flows causing every leaf, every single blade of grass, every petal of a flower to flutter, take its movement, follow the rhythm; their communion producing music so soothing, so mesmerizing....

Dance is in the rise of the Sun, as it emerges from the arms of the Lady Dawn to commence its daily expedition towards zenith finally taking repose gently and peacefully in the laps of horizon.

Dance is in the flow of river, as it twirls and twists, gurgling and gushing through pebbles and boulders. Dance is in its turbulent motion, in its sudden smooth dive down the cliff, to be taken in by the sea below, with the passion befitting lovers meeting after eternity; the unison causing the whole surroundings to celebrate, splattering the water in a fashion no one but only the Creator of all could have choreographed!

Dance is what the birds do, hailing the morning sun every day, singing and swinging in unison with the wind.

Dance is what the fawns do as they frisk and frolic.

Dance is what a toddler does as he waggles and joggles in his attempts to walk.

Dance is what our lives are like with various ups and downs, sometimes having moves corresponding to 'break and 'tooting' while at times it is all 'jazz' and 'salsa'.

Dance is the way my eyes close and a smile hovers on my lips when a tantalizing sensation reaches my ear drums.
Dance is the way my limbs move effortlessly as they follow some far distant rhythm.
Dance is what I do as my body senses itself engulfed by the music, by the beats, by the waves of ecstasy that transfer me into a different world.

A world free of all worldly affairs, where its only me and music, free of all binds and consciousness, where I can express all what I have to in whatever way I intend.

The best thing about Dance is that you are yourself and there are no terms and conditions. There are no rules to abide by; every movement is guided by your soul. It is indeed a divine connection of soul with the source of all energy.

It is like a prayer when the body sings.
The energy emanating from you, amalgamates with the Source and Generator of all energy. It is like unleashing the you within. Breaking all the curbs and the shackles. Every inch of you moving in communion with the music.

Dance is a way to celebrate life, your existence, your being able to sense the beauty around you, the energy in you. It is a way to thank the Divine Power as well as feel its presence inside you, for 'the Kingdom of Heaven is but within'.

I dance because I feel free when I dance.
I am at bliss. I am relaxed, carefree.
I am everything and nothing at the same time.
I feel the divinity in me. I feel divine.
God is in me!
Aham Bhramasmi!!!
