Challenging traditional thought so Everyone Dances!
Everyone Dances
There's a
traditional African proverb which infers, "If you can move, you can dance." I modified it.
"If you can move or imagine that you are moving you
are dancing!" Everyone dances!!!!!! ... Charles W. Donaldson, Jr.
"Videos & Information"
The following material is intended to help broaden awareness and
perceptions of dance & dancers & to inspire all who take the time
to view the videos & delve deeper into each listing.
They hold an amazing amount of possibility for us all.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
We are not endorsing anyone or any company; we have enjoyed the
information they presented and wish to share it with you.
We are not responsible for the accuracy of the content.
We are not telling you that you should dance.
That decision is between you & your doctor.
We are showing you what others are doing in dance.
***
Note from Kathy: "In the past whenever anyone has asked where they
should go
to study dance, I have given them the information I had
regarding different
studios and teachers. Then I suggested they meet the instructor,
visit the studio
& sit-in on one of the classes. That way they will know
within themselves
which teacher/studio is right for them.
That is my suggestion for you, too."
