Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece - it sent me straight back to my university days, when I was a dance and choreography major (and when, incidentally, I travelled from South Africa to Michigan to perform a physical theatre piece). It was half a lifetime ago, and I haven't danced in this way since then. Thank you for reminding my body how much I loved that time, those movements, that freedom.
as a kid, I danced everywhere, in my room, in my yard, dance class-just being in the studio was my escape from a not so great childhood .I dreamed of dance, I wasn't good enough to go pro but loved every minute.. Later in the 60s-70s, I went anywhere i could lose myself in the music. Eventually I turned to my Art, I love to paint too, became a professor of Art, now retired.-- I still paint, write, listen and watch. I feel the impulse but the old body is cranky and uncooperative. Still I listen and move in a chair or tap my feet or just close my eyes and dance in my head. Thank you for this absolutely beautiful 4 minutes!
Happy birthday Jane. I hold a spot light on you. Morning sunshine radiates rapid movement with music melodies making my toes just touch the floor. Dance is movement. Feel the Joy . Life and love today. ♥️
At 78 I teach line dancing to seniors in my community. We rumba, cha cha, waltz, and mambo to Latin soul, country, and rock 'n roll. Their faces light up when "Elvira" starts to play. It really is the kind of magic felt in this beautiful film. Thank you.
I adore dance. This is a powerful video - I really enjoyed spending a few moments of precious time feeling the vibe and admiring the stage! Thanks so much for sharing.
As someone who spends too much time in my head, this is a necessary reminder to get up & move my body. Thanks, as always, for your wisdom!
Yes! Is there a dance category for Substack? I found this by accident but would love to share dance content with others who write it!

Beautiful. Expansive. Made me feel like a kid again.

Loved this. I found myself repeating some of the movements as I watched.
