“As the body rises from the earth and soars towards the sky, it traces a clear, beautiful, and powerful form. It is filled with the passion to swing and sway, reaching the farthest corners of the universe. Even if it defies precise understanding, dance reawakens the forgotten feeling of uplifting, akin to prayer. Its essence is the highest expression of the self.”
Much love, as ever
