I love to dance. Not just your friday boogie either- I love lacing up a pair of pointe shoes (see above) and moving across the floor. The dedication and concentration that's required to be accurate makes you block the rest of the world out. The only thing that matters right then is whether or not you'll make that 6th piroutte. With all of the stuff I'm winding down from (master's program) and getting ready for (law school-eeks) and dealing with (ugh- don't make me say it) I decided that I needed to pick back up an old friend- a lot. So I've decided to audition for a summer intensive next thursday. The class starts the first week of june is 8 weeks, 2.5 hours a day, 4 days a week. Can you say EXCITED? So I've been musing around looking for a song the past week that I can put enough emotion into to dance my heart out to and it came down to Regina Belle's "Dream in Color" and Des'ree's "You Gotta Be." Des'ree won over simply because of the pace to coordinate a cool allegro. In the same vein however the lyrics are just really up for how i'm feeling these days...
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
