What does it feel like to dance?

Art is expression, This would be an understatement. It is what makes life beautiful and colorful, i've observed that every individual is passionate about some form of art or the other, be it music, books, dance, photography, sculpting, painting, knitting, exercising, list is end less. 


Being a South Indian and brought up in Madras, I've a natural affiliation towards music and dance, for me that's the best form of expression. Music energizes me, No matter how gloomy the days are or how happier they are. You could care the least about the world when favorite song of yours is being played, be it meru samana, or samney yeh kaun aaya, or you say best , when you say nothing at all.. , 

So when I say music, dance has to be mentioned , we were watching 'The Story of India' on Tv, when Michael woods mentioned about 'Nataraja ' symbolizing the dance of creation. I'm lost when I see people dance, Past few days I've been listening to Andela Ravamidi, I love this song because of the concept song, The song is performed by a girl who realizes that this form of art can enrich her soul. & Bhanupriya was outstanding in that.

I'm a huge fan of Bharatnatyam and Kuchipudi (vakyartha abhinayam), So much so that I can spend time researching about it and not get bored. I secretly wish I can dance and sway the way these dancers do. 

Ever felt sweat and the rain together?Ever spread your hands wide at the shore of an ocean and felt that you have hugged the ocean and the sky together? Ever stopped at a favorite song of yours while rushing for a bus ? Ever searched for 2 years to find the rendition of that one song you heard in a concert? Ever lost in the dance performed by people on stage.? Ever felt the energy flowing in when you hit the dance floor? It's a wonderful feeling. Inexplicable. 

Dance and music is what adds life to otherwise routine chores.
