Celtic, Thank you for your
interest in dance. I consider myself
as do my friends, an artist. We are
considered by the medical and science
community to be athletes. We are athletes to
them because we sustain such grave injury to
our bodies over the course of our career.

I feel the music flow through my body
and that is all when I dance. I am not
thinking about what I am doing, or how
I am doing it, I am thinking about the music
and how it feels and trying to show that
with my body from the tops of my fingertips
to the bottom of my feet. I become part
of the music and the story I am telling
to the audience and work very hard to
convey that to them. I want to bring them
in to the music and the story with me
so they can experience it first hand.

Did you know that dancers walk, dance
and move anytime they move, PUSHING
into the floor? I thought I would throw
in a bit of trivia too. We are always
pushing hard into the floor so our
movements look fluid and graceful.
Try pushing into the floor once
while you are walking and that is
how a dancer dances and walks! Every
foot muscle is working ever step we
take!

Thanks again, Celtic!
