DANCING ♥

 - What is dance for you?

For me, dance is everything. 

It's a stress relief, 

a creative outlet, 

the love of my life.

it's my passion. 

it's my creative way of
expressing thoughts, feelings, beats, 

and words that couldn't be expressed if spoken.

Dancing is also a way of bursting out energy,

and to feel good inside.

I dance for freedom.

It's my escape and my fuel.

It is what I need every day, 

it is what I do when I hear music,

and when i'm in front of my friends with no fear

Dance is my way of escaping life.

Dance is a way to fight my depression. 

Dance always makes me smile. 

Dance is a instinct of mine. 

Dance is apart of me.

Dance to me isn't just a hobby, its my life. ^_^
