The Best Quotes In The Entire World

I found this quote while searching Google for something
awesome. But, even though my method seems effortless, I
immediately chose this one when I saw it, because it applies
to me perfectly. I think that all of the singers out there can
relate to it as well. Singing gets me through every emotion there is.
I sing when I'm happy, sad, excited, and angry. This may seem 
fake, but it actually helps me feel a lot better. I think that this
quote reflects this perfectly. (Also, I like the sheet music in
the background.:) )

This quote is definitely one of my favorites. I discovered it while listening to a song, because it is actually a lyric in "Keep Your Head Up" by Andy Grammer. This quote describes how you have to get through all of the bad situations in life in order to reach the good ones. This quote is very similar to the quote, "This too shall pass". These two quotes help me get through difficult times, because they help me remember that I only have to put up with it for a little bit longer, and my situation will improve very soon.


As you know from reading my about me, (cough, cough, read it) I love to dance. So, my first thought when I read this quote was, "So it isn't just me." I'll explain this further for all of the non-dancers. If a person is truly passionate about dancing, then they lose themselves in the movement. Dancing isn't just dancing! It releases this feeling that temporarily takes you out of reality, to a world where nothing matters. A world where all you have to do is dance, and feel the movement and emotion within you. This is the reason that Contemporary is my favorite type of dance. It isn't because the moves look cool. (Well, partly because the moves look cool.) It's because Contemporary has no limits. The choreography can go wherever you take it. When I'm doing a Contemporary dance, I truly feel free. Click here for the song my favorite contemporary dance was to. You may recognize it. :)
This quote relates to the last one a little bit. I like this quote, because it recognizes something that most people overlook: You must be an athlete to dance. Dance is a sport. I wish it were an Olympic one. And no, gymnastics is not in any way the same. Only a true dancer, or a very well-informed person know that. Dance takes the exact same amount of athleticism (if not more) than other sports. Dance is not just a useless sport where sweaty guys beat each other up to throw an oddly shaped brown thing through a weird U. Dance is beautiful, and dance is meaningful. Dance is a sport and an art. Which leads into my next point. Anyone can do the disco, and anyone can do the sprinkler. Anybody can dance, but only a dancer can make it as meaningful, and full of emotion as it should be. It takes an athlete to dance, an artist to be a dancer, but both to be a good one.

    Given what I know about you, these quotations seem like a perfect fit. I love that you linked your favorite dance song to your blog. Have you taken other types of dance classes aside from Contemporary?
