Dance is a conversation between the heart and the mind. The movement flows out of knowledge passed down and joins with the internal souls of the dancers. Influences of the past never lose their power; however, acknowledgement of them may not be so obvious. But thankfully there is grace. Grace allows for a dancer to take small steps before a leap. The heart whispers the dancer into movement and eventually the mind begins to understand how far dance has traveled to get to the dancer. How it has influenced, fought, transformed, and breathed into its current existence. Once a dancer begins to realize the conversation they have entered, they may join in and present their heart’s vulnerability to the world.
