Improvisation Inspiration

I took a really cool improvisation dance class today with dancers that are less experienced and I felt very inspired after.  The way that they moved was more "pedestrian" like however, sometimes I find that to be the most interesting and unique.  As a dancer, when you are training your body for all of those years, sometimes the will to let go and just be natural can get lost.  These dancers were younger than I, but their readiness to try anything was so cool to watch.  It reminds me of why I dance and I hope some of their natural feeling rubbed off on me...


Dance is the only art of which we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made.  ~Ted Shawn, Time, 25 July 1955
