Art of Dancing
I think we still don't have thread about this kind of art....

Here we can share everything about dance and dancing that we know:
- dances you prefer or maybe not much ..and why?
- are YOU dancer?
- quotes about dance
- share experiences
- you can recommend good dance music
- or even invite someone to dance  
- everything about dance, everything that cross your mind

Great thread Zrinka
First question I need to know is about Ballet.
How much people appreciate modern Ballet, and how difficult as an audience is to follow this type of art, when the music is very abstract too.

For example, the traditional ballet is more melodic, stage is more descriptive and more ornamentation.The choreography is more easy to understand and followed.
Tchaikovsky is a good example with hisa Nutcracker,Sleping Beauty and the Swan Lake. Great ballet, story, dancing and great music.

Modern ballet, does it get the attention fo the audience?
Stravinsky is a good example on this. His Firebird ballet.

Dance
To me dancing is an attempt to jump at the sun or as Shakespeare put it
Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear.
Or like a fairy, trip upon the green.
Or like a nymph, with long disshevelled hair
Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen
Love of dance is a spirit all compact of fire
Not gross to sink, but light and will aspire.

Sufi poets, during the 13th century used to be in ecstasy while dancing in circles and reciting poems. Rumi was the greatest of all Sufi poets!

I was a dancer
a long time back.

We used to dance on cruise ships, and did a show called 'route 66', which was a road trip spoof, with all 1950's gear and with a big pink cadillac onstage.

One night it was so rough when we were performing that the car rolled off the stage and into the orchestra pit, with all the actors in it, still singing and doing the choreography for "Riding along in my automobile..."

My favourite influence is Laban, who created a form of dance notation and movement analysis which I still use today-

It really helps me to embarass my daughter at parties!

My favourite dance quotation, accredited to William Purkey, is:

"Dance like no one is watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like no one is listening
And live like it's heaven on earth."

Mata Hari
The dance is a poem of which each movement is a word.

Health
Medicine always emphasizes on walking and swimming as one the best exercises
for improving our health.
But others claims that dancing is perhaps the best exercise , because not only your
body is on constant motion, but we are having fun at the same time.
