Rotating and dizzy on scattered dots, nothing can compare to this dance. Melodic transfusion revitalizes the soul. Throwback beat in the air is blasting, a snapshot of every couple before them. Longing electrifies those neon...

Premium Member Under the brass sky of Iashy city, our steps dance in the night
Under the brass sky of Iashy city, our steps dance in the night, Through dusty streets where old buildings hide forgotten stories, With beer mugs like ephemeral treasures in hands that tremble, Between reality and dream, between stage and whispers of the gentle wind. We justify ourselves with a single sonnet floating among the lit stars, With sweet madness sparking...

Like David, I Dance Undignified For You God
I will dance before You, O Lord, Not with the steps of men, But with the fire of the Spirit burning in my bones. I will move without rhythm, I will leap without pattern, For my praise is not for show It is for You alone, my God and King. I will dance as one set free, As one who remembers the pit...

Tai One On
I wasn't long in Hong Kong, before I saw my first tai chi, and it gave me the strangest notion, the exercisers, advancing all in a row, were line dancing in slow motion. They put their left hand in, right hand out, in, out, in, out, waved them all about and, set to soothing, soulful music, the male practitioners suggestively sang, "If you show me your...

Dance with me
Life might have taken away my ability to dance But it didn't take out my rhythm That's why even on my chair I'm all groovy and fully turned up I might not hold your hand and spin you around But I can buy you lovely dresses So that as you pirouette It rolls around you like the cupcake you are I might...

Booty Shakers
He said 'owwww' as she said 'ouchhh'. On a Saturday night. 'Cause back in the day they could hit the dance floor, leaving others grinning , taking notes of their steppin' toes. As the effortless sway from side to side, made them smile, music just right, jamming throughout the night. The DJ was spinning records from the beginning, to the ending,...

The girl who loved to dance
For her it was a quiet act of rebellion To the world it was just a girl dancing The smile on her face magnetic The way she swung her hips mesmerising Her rhythm hypnotising She was proud of herself for letting go Of choosing her freedom Instead of being trapped in a room full of her own...
