Dance. What else can you say?

 Dancing is just discovery, discovery, discovery.  ~Martha Graham

I have always thought of Martha Graham as a genius. Not only did she dance beautifully, choreograph amazingly, but she also wrote honestly.

I had a hard time deciding what to use as my first (yes, this is surely not going to be my last) quote on dance, until I came across this one.  As my blog is titled "Discoveries," how could I possibly pass this up? 

I Dance For The Love

I dance for the love

I dance even when I feel pain
I dance knowing there's something to gain

I dance for the love

I dance for me
I dance for everyone to see

I dance for the love

I dance as the sunshine
I dance hoping you will be mine

I dance for the love

I dance with words to say
I dance all day

I dance for the love

I dance even when you leave
I dance and still believe

I dance for the love
~Amy Lee

This sums up why I dance.  It is a part of me.  One of my favorite parts.  I dance for the love, the love of dance.

PS I loved this quote too (however I didn't think that it was the best way to start out a blog:)

Dancing: the vertical expression of a horizontal desire legalized by music.  ~George Bernard Shaw
