Imagine that displayed before you is a parade of colorful beauty meant to capture the mood and tingle the senses. You become swept away by the graceful movements and shapes that are meant to stir an emotion within you. Are you looking at a work of art? Indeed! But not art depicted with paint and canvas. This is the art of dance.

Like creating images on canvas dancing is an outlet used as a means to express our inner emotions. Drawing from our inner beat a dance performance includes the elements of a great painting, it has a style all its own that tells a story or shrouds the mind in mystery. 

The appreciation for dance has been passed down from generation to generation and culture to culture. Dance is an art form that uses bodily movement and creative costumes instead of paint and brush to convey feelings and excite the imagination.

The Great Chinese State Circus’ rendition of Pyotr Tchaikov’s, Swan Lake is a breathtaking example of the art of dance. The grace and splendor of the performers invokes awe and amazement in the viewer and inspires a moment that awakens the senses to the point of raising goose bumps on the skin.  To me this is art, as much so as the finest of paintings.
