Dance Is The Hidden Language Of The Soul

"Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order." Samuel Beckett

Dance Is The Hidden Language Of The Soul
Suzanne Corp

A dancer should always dance to express,

not to impress.

A dancer can tell a story,

through their movement and emotion.

Dance frees people from the heaviness of their lives,

and lifts the weight the dancer carries off their shoulders.

Dance allows you to let yourself go and express how you feel through movement.

Dance is a transformation of time, people, space, and feelings.

Dance is about stepping on stage and leaving it all on the floor.

Pushing and fighting through hours of long, hard rehearsals.

One must always dance as if no one is watching.

Because in life you have to learn how to dance in the rain.

When dancing you must learn to let go

and let your body take control.

Dancing from the heart,

brings out the purest, most true form of a dancer.

A true dancer believes there are no limits,

and can push themselves further than they believe.

Great dancers aren't just great because of their technique,

they are great because of the passion they put behind each movement.

To watch a passionate dancer dance,

is like hearing your heart speak for the very first time.

Dance enables you to find yourself

and lose yourself at the same time.

Dance is the hidden language of the soul.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
