I attended a professional dance performance today that I thoroughly enjoyed. There were three pieces, each a different theme and style of dance. The eight dancers had prepared well and displayed their high level of talent and skill. The dancers’ ability, along with the creative choreography, music, and costumes, made for a wonderful program.
Dance is one of my favorite art forms. I appreciate and respect the hard work and years of training the dancers have completed to be able to perform at the professional level, and I’m impressed by their ability. I think one reason dance appeals to me is because it is symbolic. Some dances portray a story, but many dances are more abstract and touch each audience member in a personal way. I am thankful for the many beautiful aspects of life, and dance is one of them.
