I found this quote I really enjoyed:
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the
same time.”

Thomas Merton
This quote really spoke to me because this is how I feel
when I dance. Dance is a way for me to express myself because it takes over my
body. The music and the movement captivate me and I am unable to concentrate,
focus, or think about anything else that may possibly be going on in my life
until the routine is over or the song ceases to play. Van de Leeuw says that, “dance
is the expression of all emotions of the spirit, from the lowest to the highest”
(Leeuw 12). Dance is a part of me and I would use it to help define who I am.
My love of dance comes from somewhere deep within me.
