Dancing is the one way I can express myself and have the time of my life at the same time. I've always loved dancing and I will be dancing until the day I die.

# data[].attributes.body
I dance because its a way I can express myself and its a way for me to just forget about every thing and just dance.

# data[].attributes.body
You may not realize how much I love to dance, because I have a really hard time expressing it on my face. But dancing is really the only thing I live for. I do not dance to impress other people, I dance to find happiness in myself. Dancing is the one constant thing in my life that I can always rely on when I have nothing else. Friends, family, boyfriends...... They can and all have walked out on me. But dance... It won't ever leave me. When I am mad, sad, or happy, I know I can always dance. God gave me the ability to dance and I know that is what I am called to do. <3

I love dance!

It is the easiest way

for me to let out my emotions.

Dancing is my way of telling my

story to everyone who will take

the time to watch.

To me dance is not a talent

or an art or something

some can do and some can't.

Dance is a way of life.

I dance because I love it. I've been dancing basically my entire life, and most of the people I look up to are dancers. Every time a teacher asked me to draw something that describes me, I would draw a pair of pointe shoes. A dancer is who I am, probably always will be. I want to dance as long as humanly possible.

I dance as an act of worship to the one who gave me ability to dance. Dancing enables me to let go of what ever is bothering me and just focus on the moment. I thank God for the amazing opportunity he has given me, to dance with people I love. Dancing has not always been a part of my life, but I am realizing that it is a lot more than hitting the motions. Because what's in your heart comes out when you dance.

As an exchange student, I never had a chance to experience dance like a class in school. Therefore, I tried it and found it interesting. I simply love to dance, I don't care how good I must be but I care, I practice and I like it. That's all (:

Dancing... Its not just a word, not just a sport, not just something we do for a few hours a day. Dancing is not my escape from the world, dancing is MY world. I breathe it in and breathe it out everyday. Every little memory and moment is a part of my dance. My dance of life. Dancing is the key to my heart and the door to open others. I live for the journey of "the dance", not the end.

I dance simply because it makes me happy.

# data[].attributes.body
Dancing is my life. I can't imagine my life without it. It brings me so much happiness. I lose myself when I dance. I find myself dancing in my bedroom, kitchen, and living room all the time. Since my knee injury, its been hard to dance the way that I used to. I look forward to getting my knee 100% better so I can do what I love, dance. Dance isn't just my sport, it defines me.

# data[].attributes.body
Dance allows me to express and excel in

something that I enjoy-dance. It helps me

reflect on the past, the present and future.

Its something that doesn't need words to describe.

# data[].attributes.body
I dance, because it is important for

me because I have always wanted to learn how to dance

and this is a good experience for me. Another reason is that here lately i've been having a hard time figuring out who I am and I think dancing really helps.

Jeremiah 31:13

Young women will dance and be happy,

young men and old men will join in.

I'll convert their weeping into laughter,

lavishing comfort, invading their grief with joy.

I dance because it is my passion and has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. When I have a bad day it instantly makes it better. I dance for the feeling you get when you step out on that floor and every problem you have just melts away. Dance is the most powerful way of expressing yourself and it's is amazing

# data[].attributes.body
The way the music and the movement balance each other out is an amazing thing. I love to be a part of the blend that occurs when you mix those two elements together.

# data[].attributes.body
I dance for several reasons. I dance to live out feelings, stories, and thoughts I have in my head. Dance gives me the feeling of empowerment (which is something I need when I feel like things are falling appart). I also dance for the beauty of a bigger picture and the thrill of making it. I'm made whole by dance, but maybe more importantly the people I dance with. I have been so blessed with the ability to dance and to have such an amazing team to do it with. Thank you for dancing with me throughout life.

Someone once said that dancers work just as hard as policeman, always alert, always tense, but see, policeman don't have to be beautiful at the same time. --George Balanchine

I dance because I love the free feeling I get when I get to move to the music, tap to the beat, or leap across the floor. I'm so glad that God has given me the ability and opportunity to dance. I don't think I would be the same. Through dance I've gotten to meet amazing people that have become my role models, and my best friends. I also love getting to perform for other people. And it helps me become a better person by teaching me how to persevere, be patient, or give all I have into everything I do.

# data[].attributes.body
I dance because I love to perform. I love the feeling I get right before the music starts and the crowd is cheering. Being able to show an audience how much I love something make me very happy inside.

# data[].attributes.body
I dance because it's an amazing way to let out feelings I can't let out any other way. When I dance it's a way to escape for all my problems, just escape from real life.

# data[].attributes.body
I dance because it is a way for me to feel free from the rest of my life. When I am dancing I am constantly enjoying myself, there is never a dull moment. Some of my best friends are the ones who can share these feelings with me. People without the experiences that I and many others have had with dance will never know what they are missing.

# data[].attributes.body
I dance to get the feeling that you can't get any where else. It's a passage to say things words can't, to show emotions you can't express, and to become the person you can only imagine. Dance makes you stronger, physically and emotionally. It's not just a hobby, it's a passion.

"The only dancer you should compare yourself to, is the one you were yesterday."

# data[].attributes.body
i dance because it's like a little get-a-way. It is a great way to express yourself and for me a stress reliever. When I dance i feel safe. I forget about everything and just live then and there. I feel at home.

# data[].attributes.body
I dance because I can express myself and my emotions doing something I love. I can tell a story through my movements and I try to convey that to every person watching. I dance because I'm not perfect at it and each day I strive to be better. I dance because it's important to me and gives me the confidence I don't normally have.

# data[].attributes.body
I dance because it's an amazing way to express your feelings without saying a single word. I like to just let go and put all my emotion into it and feel strong and successful in the end, knowing all of the hard work has paid off. Dancing has really grown on me ever since I joined Hi-Steppers and I know I absolutely love dance now, it's just a part of who I am. I love dance because it's a getaway from all the stress of everything going on, it's something to engulf yourself in and enjoy it.

# data[].attributes.body
I dance because it's a way I can truly be myself. It's a way I can express myself and make new memories with my family! I am so thankful that God has blessed me with the ability to dance because with out dance, part of me would be missing. Dance has been and will always be a part of my life. Whether at home or at a studio or at the grocery store, I always find my self dancing. I cant live with out it (:

# data[].attributes.body
I couldn't think of a better way to express myself than dancing. It's like you can say a thousand words without opening your mouth.

# data[].attributes.body
I dance to feel like I am a part of something bigger than me. To be a part of a family and to feel something that is indescribable. When I perform I feel powerful and strong, which is a feeling I will never give up.

I Dance because it helps me to get away from the world.

Whether i am mad, sad, happy, or excited, i dance.

its easier to express my feeling when i dance and i feel like i can be myself.

and i have complete control over what i do.

I dance to forget about the stress in my life.

# data[].attributes.body
Dance? I can't stop, I'm serious!

# data[].attributes.body
I dance because it lets me express myself no matter what. I know that people will judge me, but that's alright with me. Dance is my life and I'm not entirely sure what I would do without it. I've been dancing since I was small and I've never done anything else since. The dance room is my home, and anywhere I dance I feel at home. (even if it's at H.E.B.) Dance has taught me to be myself and to let go of everything and just dance. "Are we human, or are we dancer?" - The Killers. If I had to say, it would definitely be dancer.
