Weekend! Happy Saturday!
Today was a family day, and we all danced as a family up in the living room! It was so fun...we flashed through so many different songs and I periodically left to check the grilled cheese sandwiches and then came back to rejoin the party.
I know it sounds like it wasn't really anything, or like I wasn't trying, but I found it oddly revealing and worth writing about. I think sometimes (read: lately) I get hung up on the idea of dance as Art-capital-A as opposed to dance as Experience. I've been getting frustrated because I can't make my body do the movements I think of as Art. But when I relax that vision and just let myself MOVE MY BODY TO MUSIC (shocker) I feel the joy flowing through me as strongly as ever. And, while dance as Art has always been a solitary activity for me, when it comes to the other type of dance, that I can share with my family and with the world. And maybe, just maybe, that's more important to bring into my life right now, and to bring into the world right now.
Does that make sense? It makes perfect sense in my head...
