The freedom of Dance
Dance is a gift given to those with crazy lives. For two hours a week my life is my own when I disappear into a church hall and return beaming, red faced and exhausted. I have an incredibly busy lifestyle, I work two full time jobs and am also studying towards becoming a primary school teacher. Along with this I live with my partner who is incapable of doing house work, so I do the washing, cooking, cleaning and gardening. Unfortunately my lifestyle takes its toll out on my body, I suffer with IBS and migrains both of which are caused by stress. However one way to release this stress is Dance.
I started dancing when I was 4 years old and stopped when I was 17. At the time I had far to many other, more cool and important things to do than ’waste'socialising hours doing a dance class. However when I reached 21 I realised that I needed to do something to relieve my stress.
For two hours a week all I need to do is concentrate on using my body to create beauty. You don’t need to have stacks of experience or to understand French (although it helps with ballet) or need storage units full of shoes and costumes. All you need is a little energy, a sense of fun and the ability to let go of all inhibitions.
Dancing is a release for the mind, body and soul. Not only does it provide you with a physical and mental work out but you get to build on your own personal creativity. It is one art form that is available to all and I suggest that everyone does it. I personally attend Highstone Dance Academy’s adult ballet and jazz classes. These classes are for pupils of all levels and ages.
The most important thing to remember is not to be scared to put on your dancing shoes!
