Dance Is The Hidden Language Of The Soul

"Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order." Samuel Beckett

Dance Is The Hidden Language Of The Soul
Suzanne Corp

A dancer should always dance to express,

not to impress.

A dancer can tell a story,

through their movement and emotion.

Dance frees people from the heaviness of their lives,

and lifts the weight the dancer carries off their shoulders.

Dance allows you to let yourself go and express how you feel through movement.

Dance is a transformation of time, people, space, and feelings.

Dance is about stepping on stage and leaving it all on the floor.

Pushing and fighting through hours of long, hard rehearsals.

One must always dance as if no one is watching.

Because in life you have to learn how to dance in the rain.

When dancing you must learn to let go

and let your body take control.

Dancing from the heart,

brings out the purest, most true form of a dancer.

A true dancer believes there are no limits,

and can push themselves further than they believe.

Great dancers aren't just great because of their technique,

they are great because of the passion they put behind each movement.

To watch a passionate dancer dance,

is like hearing your heart speak for the very first time.

Dance enables you to find yourself

and lose yourself at the same time.

Dance is the hidden language of the soul.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
