Why do YOU Dance?

The folks at Jacob's Pillow Dance Co have started asking this question, and I would like to ask it, too. So, why do YOU dance?

I dance because it makes me think and connect or care about what I'm thinking. I feel better. I feel more there, alive. I smile and I smile hard and harder. I love the sensation of movement itself. For me, moving has something to do with being free and being honest and being yourself.

There is no other way to express the things that can only be expressed through dance.

I dance because there is something inside me that wants out - it wants to move and express and be beautiful and feel good.
