All this reminiscing about dancing on stage again,
made me recall that moment when I uttered these fine words: "I am hanging
my dancing shoes".
Haha, well probably those shoes should
remain hung in that closet for many years to come because my dance doesn't
require shoes! - bad joke.
Yes, yes it is just an expression to
assert one's desire to stop dancing. But when I said that a few years ago, I
was probably not thinking right. Till today, even if I tried, I can't. Because
for me, to dance is to be free.
Free from the chains that stops me from
expressing my true self. The only way I am capable of being fully honest to
myself and the people around witnessing the spectacle as it unfolds.
The finest moment when I lose control of
myself and I allow the dance to take its natural course. Yes, that ecstasy I am
talking about.
Probably one day, this body shall cease to
move the way I am able to do now. And maybe I will never be able to reproduce
that same feeling of liberation once my limbs chooses to fail me
but at the very least, I am able to say that I
know how it felt to be free...
I know how it felt
to ... "be dance".
