I’ve always loved music’s ability to force my body to move in ways I never imagined.

I’ve always loved music’s ability to transport me to another place, another time. How just one note, maybe in they key of C, could stir emotions deep inside me, beyond all imagining, all reasoning, encouraging me to…dance, leap, fly!

I’ve always loved my body’s ability to bend, stretch and contort to the simple rhythms of beats, sounds and vibrations because I…I am a dancer.

Give me a beat to dance to and watch me fly!
I’m a dancer.
That’s what I am.

I…I am a dancer,
Give me the steps.
I’ll come through.

Give me somebody to dance for.

Give me somebody to show.

Let me wake up in the morning to find I’ve somewhere exciting to go.

Let me dance for you
Let me try.

I… I am a dancer.
I have come home!
Let me in.

Give me somebody to dance with.

Give me somebody to be!

Let me wake up and feel entirely proud that the girl in the mirror is me!

Let me dance for you.
Let me try.

Give me somebody to dance for.

Give me somebody to be!

I…I am a dancer.
That’s what I am.
