When We Dance

* 
James Brown: 'I don't know karate, but I know ka-razy!', 'When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy. Just like church does. People don't go to church to find trouble, they go there to lose it.', and 'The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing.' “It doesn’t matter if I’m off the beat. It doesn’t matter if I’m snapping to the rhythm. It doesn’t matter if I look like a complete goon when I dance. It is my dance. It is my moment. It is mine. And dance I will. Try and stop me. You’ll probably get kicked in the face.” ― Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing When you dance with the Africans, unless it is a ritual dance like a wedding or harvest or rain dance, there’s no right or wrong way to dance. There’s only movement. And the more you express your feelings as you move, the better you feel when you’re done…When I dance the African Way, I show my feelings with my body instead of hiding them in my heart. When I dance, I know I’m alive here and now. My body and soul are in harmony.” ― Maria Nhambu, Africa's Child “Life is short and there will always be dirty dishes, so let's dance.” ― James Howe, Totally Joe “You don't enter a dance studio and say "I can't do that." If you do, then why are you in the studio in the first place?” ― Judith Jamison, Dancing Spirit: An Autobiography  “You can be Eastern or Burmese or what have you, but the function of the body and the awareness of the body results in dance and you become a dancer, not just a human being. ” ― Martha Graham, Blood Memory
