Such freedom.

Hey. :)

Dance is such a beautiful expression.
I think dance is one of my favorite forms of art, along with singing and acting.  My best friend and I talk sometimes about how dance is about the most basic form of expression there is. It doesn't require materials or mediums. It doesn't even require language. It's just movement, raw emotion stemming from being.
Dance has been around for thousands of years. It's part of every culture, every ethnicity,  like a connecting thread that is humanity.
Dance can be an incredible gift. When I see a beautiful dancer, it touches a piece of me that makes me want to dance. I literally find myself twitching to move.
Dance inspires us to feel, to express, and to be open and receive other people's expression.
What an amazing piece of life God gave us in dance. :)


Mikhail Baryshnikov is one of the most brilliant ballet and modern dancers of all time.



Martha Graham was considered the Picasso of modern dance.



And me :) Not a Picasso in the least. But a girl who loves to express her Creator in many ways, including dance.

P.S. How do you like to express yourself?

Last weekend.

Oh my goodness, it's been way too long since I last posted.
Life is good :) Dance classes have started up again for me (Modern Jazz and Ballet), and I'm also taking a drama class. So now I'm officially taking 3 extracurricular classes in addition to a normal high school junior's education. 
Needless to say, I've been pretty busy with all that and still found time to create and go shopping. :) A post will be coming up of my purchases and latest projects.
Last weekend I spent my Saturday at my Aunt's beautiful house. We watched Lord of the Rings 1 (Extended edition! So amazing.) with my two younger cousins and had chicken tortilla soup and princess cupcakes from Fresh and Easy. (If you've never had princess cupcakes then you should! They are the best cupcakes I've ever had.) Here are some pics of me, my little brother, and my cousins in my Aunt's backyard. My Aunt has the greenest thumb I've ever seen, there's nothing she can't grow!


Yes, we are spinning on the swing in this picture. :)












Hope you all had a nice weekend/beginning of the new week. See you in awhile with a projects post!
