To Speak

To dance
Is to breathe
Is to work
Is to live

To dance
Is to create
It is to love

To laugh, to cry
To touch
To learn

To dance is to speak
The lost language of our inner beings
With words not expressed vocally
With words that cannot be spoken

To dance,
To truly dance,
Takes no training

To speak from the darkest parts of the heart-
From the brightest parts of the mind-
Requires only the rawest emotion

Freedom comes from the dancer’s heart
When everything is given to the dance
When the heart is connected to the mind
And the mind is connected to the body

To dance is not to compete
It is not to win or lose
It is only to speak

It is to dream
It is to express
It is to connect

To dare
To defy
To dream

Is to dance
