I just really wanted to say a few more things about dancing since, that's pretty much all I thought about all night. I realized a few more reasons why I love dancing in all it's many forms. One is that I love to interact with people while on the floor. There were a bunch of times last night when I'd make eye contact with the dancers around me, so that we'd both realize that we had this cool connection at the moment. I'd try to make people feel welcome and to get them to do a move or two together with me.
The other point I realized is that I love to put on the guise of a character while dancing. At various points throughout the night I'd become this tough chick that could throw down if anyone got in her face. It was awesome to do these sequences where we'd get up real close and just glare at each other as we did these isolation moves. We'd push each other back and fourth across the floor without ever even touching. It was so liberating to play that kind of role and to actually be believable at it.
At other times in my life I've played the role of a haughty tango dancer and that of a foot-loose swing dancer. I'm sure I've used many more dance guises over the years, and I've enjoyed everyone of them. I guess I'm just an actress through and through.
The final thing I thought about was how the dance floor can be it's own world. You can act all crazy and be totally engulfed in the whole atmosphere. Just to give you an example, at one point when I left the floor I realized that I'd been blinded by the technicolored lights, deafened by the extremely loud music, and that my whole body was numb from over exertion. It took about three minutes before I felt fully human again. That's about the point I was racing back to the floor.
Well that's enough ramblings about my beloved dancing. Yo quiero bailar mucho mas
