I was so encouraged by Izzy's individual thinking as regards style it gave me the courage to finally demonstrate how I feel to a piece of music, I had already been working on this piece in my living room but wasn't sure that anyone would be interested as it didn't really fall into a 'category' of dance. I have a long, long, way to go yet and I won't reach Izzy's standard, too old for a start! but I am now working by myself and have so much more confidence in being 'different'. maybe not that different though, please tell me what you think.

Re: Folky solo
Mon, June 29, 2009 - 2:10 PMOhhh yay!!! I'm so glad that you did it!!! No matter if you come from a community where being free from "category" is already the norm or not, it can be an act of bravery to just dance your dance when it doesn't quite fall under a specific file label. Congratulations!! I thought it was beautiful! There are many elements all combined into it in a very aesthetic way. You have a wonderful sense of musicality and grace. To me, "how I feel to a piece of music" is one of the most important reasons to dance anything, and that definitely came through. I think it is finding all the places where we are different that makes us special, while finding all the places where we are not so different helps us understand and appreciate each other--and that is equally special.
Keep on dancing your dances!!!!
All the best,
Iz
