Personal
Dance
Treatise
An
overwhelming
sense
of
emotion,
sentiment,
or
existence
can
drive
one
to
initiate
muscle
movement
that
articulates
feeling.
This
basic
ability
to
express
emotion
through
movement
is
the
simple
meaning
of
dance.
The
incomparable
experience
of
dancing
through
emotion
is
an
innate
desire
for
every
human
being.
The
perfect
beauty
of
the
human
body
and
soul
enables
anybody,
those
with
formal
training
and
those
without,
to
be
a
dancer.
Is
dance
an
event
defined
by
the
intentional
movement
performed
by
a
dancer?
Or
can
dance
be
an
event
defined
by
an
observer
who
witnesses
beautiful
movement,
whether
or
not
dance
is
the
intention?
I
have
seen
trees
sway
in
the
wind,
dogs
jump
with
excitement,
leaves
float
to
the
ground,
and
fish
glide
across
waters
all
of
which
I
consider
to
be
dance.
Dance
is
any
beautiful
movement
that
leaves
possible
observers
in
thought
and
with
a
sense
of
empathy,
understanding,
and
intrigue.
Inanimate
objects
and
animals,
whose
minds
cannot
be
understood
by
humans,
are
capable
of
moving
with
strength
and
beauty,
leaving
observers
in
thought
whether
the
movement
is
intentional
or
not.
It
is
in
the
power
of
the
audience
to
determine
whether
the
beauty
they
have
witnessed
is
considered
expression
through
movement.
Human
beings
bring
the
beautiful
movement
of
dance
to
a
deeper
level,
because
humans
can
utilize
their
brains
to
make
distinct
choices.
While
humans
bring
sophistication,
thought
process,
and
creative
strategies
to
dance,
movement
of
any
form
can
be
labeled
as
dance.
While
the
tree
swaying
in
the
wind
may
simply
be
a
response
to
physical
laws-
the
aesthetic
is
posed
on
that
by
human
constructs
of
dance.
Just
as
a
garden
requires
specific
elements
to
successfully
grow,
a
technical
dancer
requires
consistent
practice
and
preparation.
Preparations
for
a
garden
such
as,
water,
soil,
fertilizer,
and
good
seasonal
timing,
are
all
key
components
to
effective
preparation.
However,
the
same
preparations
will
produce
different
results
because
the
seeds,
the
original
essence
of
the
plants,
are
different.
Seeds
of
different
breeds
bloom
into
different
plants,
and
even
seeds
of
the
same
kind
vary.
Diverse
seeds
with
the
same
components
of
preparation
will
grow
into
different
creations.
Like
unto
the
seed,
it
does
not
matter
how
uniform
dance
technique
classes
are,
dancers
will
grow
into
individual
performers.
The
same
training
will
produce
different
dancers,
because
it
is
the
essence
of
the
human
soul
that
develops
into
a
dancer
and
every
humans
soul
is
unique.
No
matter
the
unison
of
the
preparations,
individuality
shines
when
a
dancer
is
performing
with
passion.
Just
as
some
dancers
receive
no
formal
preparations
or
trainings,
some
plants
require
no
preparation
at
allgardeners
consider
these
plants
wildflowers.
No
one
needs
to
work
on
helping
the
seed
of
a
wildflower
to
grow,
because
it
does
not
require
formal
preparations
to
develop
its
beauty.
Human
beings
also
do
not
need
formal
training
to
dance
with
beauty.
Dance
enables
any
human
being
who
desires
to
express
through
movement
to
do
so
beautifully.
Sharing
emotions
of
gladness,
sorrow,
and
excitement
through
dance
is
delightful
no
matter
the
training.
Along
with
a
tool
for
expression,
dance
is
also
means
of
escape
from
personal
expectations
and
limitations.
I
teach
core
integrated
dance
lessons
to
a
6th
grade
class
in
Lehi,
Utah.
Looking
back
to
the
first
week
of
class
and
remembering
their
timid
motions
and
unsure
expressions,
I
am
amazed
at
how
they
have
progressed.
Many
students
in
the
class
spend
their
typical
school
day
in
special
resources,
meaning
that
they
have
learning
deficiencies
and
deficits.
When
those
students
are
participating
in
dance
class,
one
would
never
realize
those
disabilities.
They
move
with
strength,
grace,
and
expression.
The
students
are
pushing
past
their
personal
limitations
and
exceeding
all
expectations.
Dance
is
a
tool
for
them
to
push
passed
the
fact
their
minds
might
think
differently
than
their
other
classmates.
No
matter
the
circumstance,
when
a
child
is
given
the
opportunity
to
express
through
dance
their
mind
is
loosed
from
personal
limitations,
expectations,
and
inhibitions.
For
my
young
dancers
and
any
other
human
being,
it
is
clear
that
dance
has
the
power
to
soothe
the
mind.
The
power
of
human
expression
through
movement
is
capable
because
of
the
gift
from
our
divine
Creator.
In
this
Earth
life,
God
has
blessed
each
of
his
children
with
a
body
and
spirit;
both
of
which
are
encompassed
in
the
expression
of
dance.
The
human
body
is
miraculous,
with
a
perfect
system
that
is
capable
of
showing
strength
and
grace.
Movement
is
possible
because
of
the
perfect
design
of
the
human
body,
thoughtfully
created
by
our
Heavenly
Father.
Ultimately
the
joy
of
moving
our
own
physical
body
around
according
to
our
own
will
simply
because
we
can,
is
a
gift
from
our
Creator.
The
body
enables
humans
to
express
through
movement,
but
the
desire
to
express
through
movement
comes
from
the
soul.
Our
God
has
blessed
his
children
with
precious
spirits,
that
when
combined
with
the
body,
become
the
soul.
The
soul
is
ones
identitythe
very
essence
of
who
someone
is.
Everyones
bodies
are
near
the
same,
but
a
soul
is
ones
unique
identity.
That
matchless
identity
comes
out
through
the
power
of
dance.
Through
involvement
of
the
body,
the
soul
pushes
the
mind
and
spirit
to
discover
personal
emotions
and
expressions.
The
soul
enables
passion
in
dance
that
is
individual
for
each
human
being.
To
dance
is
to
be
consumed
by
the
power
of
a
moment
when
the
only
option
is
to
move.
One
dances
when
there
is
no
other
means
to
understand
the
personal
emotions
inside.
Dance
can
be
defined
by
movement
that
is
initiated
from
internal
feelings
and
emotions,
but
it
can
also
be
defined
by
what
an
observer
identifies
as
beautiful
movement.
I
have
admired
the
beautiful
movement
of
the
world
around
me,
which
inspires
dance
from
within
me.
Dance,
the
aspect
of
technical
training
aside,
is
a
divine
gift
that
enables
everyone
to
express
emotion
through
movement.
