April 17th

The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music. Bodies never lie. ~Agnes de Mille. I started my blog a little bit different this week, with one of my favorite quotes. I am a dancer, and I have been dancing since before I can remember (funny thing is what I do remember about dancing, I hated when I was little, at the time, it was definitely not for me). Now I willingly try out for dance teams, take dance classes, anything to get me in my shoes and on a floor learning something new and cool to do with my body. I love to dance, because as my quote stated perfectly, it is the truest expression of how you are feeling. If you have had a rough day, and you get to dance, you can tell the emotions you are letting out through your body. To me, dancing is my escape. It is the one thing that takes my mind off of everything else. Without it, I would probably go a little bit crazy.
So when I got here to ISU, even from the second I stopped dancing in high school, I thought I would never be on a team again. And that thought worried me more than you can imagine. Many people have experienced anxiety when their high school sports end, it is one of the only times you may see a man cry is when his sport or passion is over. But in my dance class from first semester, a girl, who was on a team, asked if I would tryout for her team. I was more excited than you could imagine.
Now what kind of story would this be if it did not have a good ending? Basically today, I am writing to now promote my dance teams show on April 17th, in the Braden Auditorium. Come if you have a passion.
