The Leveler Across All Fields

I've come to realize that one of the reasons I love Dance so much is because it's a leveler across all fields.

It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, educated or uneducated, male or female, boy or girl, tall or short, skinny or fat, young or old, you still can choose to dance.

While there are some that say you have to have a really fit body to do so, I believe its only true, if you decide to be a really, really outstanding dancer.

If not, dance is still for everyone!

Just look at how tribal societies and hunting parties celebrate a feast or a hunt with singing, laughter and social dancing.

Dance was an expression of joy, no matter what form it took.

Watching Robin Hood and Centurion a lil' while back made me realize how social dancing has actually evolved from merry little gatherings in taverns to the flashing lights and ear-popping music we have now in clubs.

Only sadly in clubs, I highly doubt some of the people who dance do it for celebratory purposes.

That being said and done, dance has also become a tool or a weapon for people to break free of their situations.
Just look at the bboys from the Philippines and Cambodia, I'm sure they all have their own story to tell.



I just have a hope and a vision that dancing will continue to retain its purest form in the time to come, that it shall always be an expression of joy, a measure for hope, and a lead, into the future.
