Entry #1 Marjorie Marine - ENC1102

There are various reasons why I like to dance, but the main two reasons are because it keeps me active and helps me express my feelings through movement. I was five years old the first time my parents enrolled me in a dance class. One of my aunts, from my dad’s side, convinced my parents to sign me up for ballet classes. I am so glad that they listened to her and did it because thanks to that marvelous decision I now love dance more than anyone could ever imagine. If money wasn’t an issue, I would have signed up for every single type of dance class possible. I am not good with word and I am definitely no picasso, therefore, I use dance as a way to express myself. I love the fact that I can become someone or something else, and that I could communicate feelings and ideas just by dancing. Dance frees me from the pressures of the world, from having to be someone I’m not. It’s just me and my body in a space with beautiful music and movement. Dance gives me self discipline and a way in which I could express my innermost feelings of joy and sadness. It allows me to perform and feel amazing, even if it is just to the wall. With that said, I can surely tell you that dance is the window to my soul.
