Dance Your Troubles Away

“There are short-cuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them” – Vicki Baum

Have you ever seen a toddler move, rock or shake whenever he hears music?
This is where it begins, the love of dance. As young children we love to move and jump around, we think we are dancing. As we get older, we realize that we can actually dance to music, whether it be rock, pop, hip-hop, latin, etc. Some of us take dance classes at local studios, tap, ballet and jazz. Some of us take ballroom classes. Some just prefer social dancing at clubs or weddings, etc. No matter what kind of dancing we enjoy, we all have one thing in common, the love of dance. You do not have to be a professional dancer to feel the freedom and joy you get on the stage or dance floor. You can dance alone, with a partner or group, and the feeling in the same. There is a great song from an old Broadway show, Mack and Mabel and, although it refers to tap dancing it really says it all, “Tap Your Troubles Away”. It could be re-written as “Dance Your Troubles Away”.
