There’s absolutely no other feeling in the world like flying. I know, because I fly—not in a plane, or on a hang glider—but I fly with my feet. When a sudden beating drum and a wailing fiddle echo throughout the room, my feet shoot into the air, weaving my body in all directions. That’s when I really fly, when my body soars gracefully around the room, in perfect rhythm and harmony with the flowing music.But my feet do not just gallop aimlessly; the steps I take are taken with great meaning. I am not just any dancer—I am a contemporary dancer. I began dancing at the late age but I continue to do so. Dancing has been a part of my entire life, however only four years ago I started building my muscles and stretching my limbs in order to learn the required fancy footwork. It is not just a hobby, it is not just a talent, it is a passion. And it is my passion.
If there’s one thing that can be said about me, it is that I am an incredibly passionate person. I put my heart and soul into everything I do, whether it is relationships, music, school, dancing, writing, teaching or even life. And there’s nothing that stirs up passion inside of my soul like dancing. The second I lace up my shoes and point my toe, waiting for the loud, wailing fiddle and the pounding of the rhythm , a flood of boiling blood bursts through my veins and pumps adrenaline throughout my body.
A swift kick here, a bounding leap there—away I fly, into the air like a howling wind. So you can understand how hard it was for me not to dance for a year due to my leg injury, now I'm back on my feet and ready for when a vibrant melody streams into my eardrums, my reaction to dance. Energetic twists and turns, hops and jumps, leaps and stamps come naturally to me. I always find ways to express myself, and expressing myself through dancing is one of the most beautiful forms. At times, when the music is so loud that it hushes the world and its noises surrounding me, I give my soul to the music and worship it through my dancing. I close my eyes, breathe the air, and let my body fly free as my feet overpower me. And when that happens, the music welcomes my dance, and scoops me up into the air, to dance on the clouds, where I will be forever in my bliss.
