"I believe" freewrite


I believe I am a good dancer because I’ve taken dance lessons and have been told many times that I have a natural talent. But I know deep down that it is because I have been dancing and whirling on my toes since the day I can first rememeber. It is not that I am good at first when I get out on htd floor, it is the many years that I have spent watching and feeling the movements of other good dancers that allows me to be a good dancer. Swing ballroom, waltzing, west cost swing, twostep, contra dancing and freestyle are all things I love. There is a senation that I get while dancing that comes from nothing else in life. The whole world melts away. Sometimes I will close my eyes while dancing and totally reliy on balance and the lead of my partern to guide me through the movements and steps of the dance. I never want to stop dancing. Only late ngiths I= and the fact that I must get up in the moring are the only things that make me come to the reality that I must stop and go home. I do not seek the dancefoor for attentions from men I seek the dance floor for the plave in life that it takes me and the way it gives my sould and heart a rest from the rest of the cares of the workd. I get to dance to music cuases my heart to yearn to live, Jazz, pop and other styels make my soul thrive. When the music is flowing through big good quality speakers I can heardly wait to nbegin swinging and living to the beats of the frums and the magnicifict bass. I love the acustice bass, I wish I could play the acustic bass I know a little but I really desire to play in a jazz band where the bass goes all voer the place with sincronizewd freedom. The deep wonderful sounds the bass makes reacheces deep down into my soul I’ve talked abput my soul and heart a lot but that’s becayse dancing touches my heart so

  1. It's so wonderful that you can express yourself through dancing that way. I love to dance, but I've never had any sort of training. I look indescribably silly when I dance, but it's such a fun way to exercise.
    You should definitely explore your desire to play the bass. I've played a couple different instruments and it's a lot of fun. There's always a new challenge to learn songs that you hear.

  2. Hello Brie,

    I think its wonderful that you find freedom through the form of dancing! There are few things as beautiful as when people gracefully express themselves through the art of dance. It is a very unique gift. It is weird how music, almost like a drug, just captures our soul and sets us free.
