Another cool quote...

"An exercise is not dance. A dance step is not dance. A costume is not dance. Music is not dance. For all these elements to be synthesized within your mind and body and come out (as) Dance requires that you put together all your new physical know-how, match it with increasing self-expression, connect with the beat and wail of the music, and offer yourself up to another dimension... one in which you cannot intellectualize, practice, apologize, or show off."
From The Compleat Belly Dancer, by Julie Russo Mishkin & Marta Schill
This really sums it up no matter what form of dance you engage in. I know where I'm coming up short in this equation and with some luck and hard work I hope to rectify that in the year ahead.
