~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My kids have been involved with visual arts, theater, poetry, and choral and instrumental music, but not much dance. Which may be why I haven't posted as much about dance as some topics, but there are still some to check out. I like the intentness, joy, and intimacy in today's dancing images.

A Merry Moment

Twenty-two years of getting out on the dancefloor:
ReplyDeleteWonderful depictions of dance, each expressing the passion of movement. I must admit, though, that I was most drawn to A Merry Moment for some reason. I guess it just implied joy and happiness beautifully.
Really enjoyed the Madonna video, too. She is an amazing entertainer.
