Dance Manifesto
Dance is the reflection of a person’s feelings in that moment. It is the most authentic form of self-expression as it is done with the body. There is no hiding one’s beliefs about life, values, or culture during dance—we wear them like fine clothes in every overcurve, smile, leap, and toe point for all to see. What is revealed and learned can be as much for the individual as it is an audience.
Dance brings us to the present. Participants get to experience the texture of the floor, feel of the music, and weight of their bodies in a completely original way. As a metaphor, we dance every day with the choices we make or don’t make. Dance is not only an outlet, but its own private language: one that is as complicated as living itself.
