Like no one is watching!!

I skipped it for a month and then I knew I loved it so much…my dance classes!! No am not very fond of dancing..but it was like a dream..an unfulfilled desire to be able to dance..!! But I never knew I would… till the time I had actually reached a dance school. And that was because it was reachable and suitabile to my timings and my pocket.. and my life seemed to be a mess and I wanted a time off just to myself…That was when I came across danceworx!! No am not their fan ..but there seems to be some connection!! Naren my dance trainer is a wonderful dancer and unlike other male dancers he never looked like a gay to me ( 😛 – hope no one from danceworx readz thz). Hez a great advertiser of danceworx and a good motivator too but sumwher I see streaks of a naughty child in him which overrules all of it..but now I think…I knw its cz of Dance!!.. He once asked some of us “Why did you join danceworx”…I was glad he didn’t ask me cz the answer perhaps was too personal then..not anymore…when I had gone there it was not the same me as today..it was a shy girl who took this world as a strange place..who didn’t know what she was doing and why… she had a broken heart and felt lyk no one loved her…but now she says..”so what? who cares..not me!!” and this transformation came from..”Dance!”.. I didn’t know this would happen.. but it did..the girl who once had tears in her eyes while working out …now loves to sing every slow number along. I was shy, I still am… but I was not scared to perform on a staged watched by 1000 odd eyes some of which were dance experts like Ashely!! I was enjoying, each bit of it… I guess this is what dancing does to you…throws out your fears and lets you reach for your heart. It makes your heart beat and skip it all at the same time. That is like falling in love with yourself and knowing the joy of being what you are. Irrespective of weather you are winner or a looser… loved or hated by the people around… you get whatever you want from deep within. Perhaps that is why they compare it so much with meditation. When we work in our workplaces most of us wear masks and we tend to go home with it when we socialize with surroundings even with our very near and dear ones. But can we wear masks to ourselves? Show yourself what you are not? Perhaps yes!! When we get so used to pretending, what we preted seems to be true…But when you dance like no one is watching, you be yourself..you forget to pretend and you reach for the true you. Transformed, new and happy is what dance made me!! So If now I hear, dance like no one is watching…I know why!! And that’s how Naren puts it…”Close your eyes and feel the music…and forget the music..cz you are the music…and enter the class when you are ready to dance!!”
