I went to Hairspray tonight. Loved it. Seriously, it was so much fun and made me smile the entire time. It's funny because as I was watching it, and I know this is cliche', but I seriously wanted to jump out of my seat and start dancing. This isn't the first time I've had the urge to get up and move this summer. I've also (brace yourself) become addicted to So You Think You Can Dance.
I guess it shouldn't shock me that these two shows make me happy. I mean, I am a dancer, right? And every summer I go through this same "Wow, I love what I do!" feeling because during the summer I don't get to do it very much. But I think there is something else to this joy I feel when I watch people move with so much energy and joy and who are having so much fun. What I see is the human spirit.
That's not to say that all dancing is spiritual, or that dancing is the only way to feel that mind-body-spirit connection; but for me it makes sense, and when I see someone dancing with their whole heart, my spirit wakes up and wants my body to join in the fun.
(and let me tell you, it is fun.)
