Thank you for Dancing (30)

Thank you for dancing

Thank you for anything that can inspire a girl to move.

Thank you for So You Think You Can Dance, and how beautiful the choreography often is.  Thank you that I can bond with my family while watching something so so pretty.

Thank you for the livingroom routine in Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Thank you for the way that dancers can express themselves without any words at all, and when we try to express their dance in words, it doesn't quite connect.

Thank you that we can think in both movement and language.  Thank you that we do not have to know both languages, but we all do anyway.

Thank you for the girls who spin in those long 50s style skirts.

Thank you for lifts.  When a man lifts a woman, I think this is the prettiest, most glorious thing ever.

Thank you for flexibility and endurance.

Thank you for Kassi Struk, and all she has done for dancing and for me.

Thank you so much for the dancers that I know and that inspire me.

Thank you that there are choreographers, who cannot dance, but see their work presented locally to a smaller budget and are touched anyway. Thank you for what this means to them.

Thank you for my intense burning desire to learn how to do this.

Thank you for the way that dancing gives energy.

Thank you for how you do not have to dance well to enjoy dancing.

Thank you for when people are home alone and can dance at their leisure.

Thank you for how many different kinds of dancing there are.

Thank you for the way that fighting can be a kind of dance, and dance can be a kind of fight.

Thank you for the way that there are word dances, and dancing around issues and all kinds of other dance things.

Thank you that dancing is not just confined to dancing.

Thank you that different kinds of music inspire different kinds of dancing.

Thank you that the same repetitive dance move can still bring joy.

Thank you for all the people who cannot dance, and therefore do not judge dancing.

Thank you for the people who can dance, and choose not to judge dancing anyway.

Thank you for crazy loud dance parties that turn out to be more fun than you think.

Thank you for the way dancers can dance alone or with a partner and still be profound.

Thank you for the way dancers know another language that isn't language, and feelings that aren't expressed in words.

Thank you for the powerful pairing of movement, sound, and emotion.
