“Dance is the hidden language of the soul.” – Martha Graham

What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a dancer. I love how good moving to music makes me feel. I also love how carefree and creative it looks and feel. I can spend a ton of time on instagram watching videos dancers. They are so expressive and they always look like they are having the time of their lives. I did do ballet as a kid (and loved it!) but I really wanted to do contemporary dance.

So the job I would love to do for a day is to be a freestyle dancer. I would love to feel the bass pulsing through my body and directing my every move. I would dance to the remix of “I’m coming out” by Diana Ross. That song just lifts my vibrations. I would love to participate in a dance competition. I love the creative way in which the dancers in how they interpret the music. I love the attitude that they show while dancing. Most of all, the hype man and the crowds are such a vibe!

Dance is life!

Rhythm is life and life is Rhythm

I don’t remember what song that was from and I am too lazy to look it up right now but it sums up how I feel about music. I love music because I love dancing if that makes sense.

My playlist is filled with the songs that I danced to in the club back in the day with awesome friends, family and acquaintances. I listen to them every day in the car. I see that quite a few has crept on to my son’s playlist too now🤭

My old party songs

“The times you lived through, the people you shared those times with – nothing brings it all to life like an old mix tape. It does a better job of storing up memories than actual brain tissue can do. Every mix tape tells a story. Put them together, and they can add up to the story of a life.”

Rob Sheffield

I guess to todays playlists are the equivalents of mixtapes. 😊

The songs that lift my spirit

Music also helps me remain grateful and feel closer to God. So I have a playlist for that as well. On that note, I will love and leave you with this quote from the great man himself, Louis Armstrong

“Music is life itself.”

Louis Armstrong
