In case anyone hasn't seen the masterpiece, I have found and posted the video. Your life will be changed. How someone can move their feet that fast and produce a decent rhythmical sound is beyond me. Simply amazing...
I was telling my mom tonight how much I miss it. An open room with wooden floors and nothing but good music in the background that I could express through dance. Some of my favorite college moments were in the studios in the Sanderson center just dancing for the heck of it. I wish there was a place like that here that I could just bring my own music and take over the room. Thinking about how long it has been since I have done this just makes me sad. And especially how long it has been since I have worn a pair of tap shoes. After watching Gene Kelly and wishing he were still alive so that he could make more classics like Singing in the Rain, I have the strong urge to go the the racquet ball courts at our apartment complex and go for it.
It also make me miss teaching it. The two years I spend at Art Camp teaching dance were some good times. Those kids, both girls and boys, still hold a warm place in my heart. I even taught a dance to Moses Supposes, and it was by far one of my favorites. I hope those kids think of me and their first exposure to such a classic whenever they see that movie, if they ever do.
So that is all of my whining about my missing my passion. I will find a way to get back onto the dance floor, and I will keep you posted.
"A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance." Ecclesiastes 3:4
