Just a little addendum to my post from a couple of weeks ago (Dance Quote: Patrick Swayze), I happened upon this quote from Patrick:

“… a person who can connect with their partner, another human being who can connect with their soul − it’s not just learning steps, it’s about expressing something. I’ve found in dancing all my life that I can release something as a dancer that I can’t in any other way…”    Patrick Swayze

I love this quote, simply because he speaks about expressing when you dance.  I see dance as telling a story.  You can have the 5-6-7-8 kind (which is great), but then you can also have dance that makes people understand what you want to communicate; and your communication is through your movement.

When people get it, you feel it.  And that’s what it’s all about.  Thanks Patrick.
