I Dance because...

I Dance because it's a release.  I take classes to be better than only myself.  I'm do not take classes to put others down.  I encourage others to do everything in their power to dance to only God's glory.  Sometime's it's not easy to remember who you're dancing for.  When you do, it's something else completely.  It's not doing more turns than the girl next to you.  It's doing more than you did last time.  It's not being on the most advanced level.  It's being on the level where you can genuinely work your hardest, to bring the most glory to Our Father.  I Dance because it's fun.  The rush of walking out on stage to show what God is capable of blessing his people of.  The thrill of getting told that you've done well.  It's not going to more classes so that my friends will be impresses.  It's going to more classes so that my teachers and myself can know that I am doing my best, even if I'm not the best in the class.  I Dance because dance is expression.  It takes everything you stress over like homework, tests, appearances, and drama and it melts all the stress away.  It is your one focus.  Jump higher, balance longer, and get more turns in.  Not make all A's, eat healthy, and dress well.  I Dance because it's a chance to show my true colors.  It's a chance for the music to inhabit your soul and to take over your body.  It's a chance to say what you're thinking without saying a word.  I Dance because it's good for me: mentally and physically.  It makes you stronger.  It makes you more agile.  It helps you do more.  I Dance because I can.  Not everyone can get up and do things like most people can.  Why would you sit on the couch your whole life when God gave you this incredibly marvelous way to get around.  I don't mind that dance takes time.  I mind when dance doesn't take up some of my time.  It takes effort, and no matter how hard or miserable a class is, that's okay because it ends.  I Dance not for any one else, but for myself and for God.
