There are those rare moments when everything is hushed and loud at the same time, when you just know beauty is before your eyes. These are the moments that I know God is real. How else could something be so beautiful?
Tonight was Kinetic Expressions 2015. For non-Berea readers, Berea College Dance Programs puts on a performance every year of modern dance. They invite dancers and non-dancers to audition. For some performers, this is their first time dancing on stage. It was always something I considered trying but chickened out of on the day of auditions. Add that to my list of regrets in life.
Even though I've graduated, I had to go back for this one BC event, and just like every year it left me in awe and feeling a bit empty. There is now this empty jittery hole inside of me that wants to dance and be beautiful. Maybe it's the idea that they accept anyone or maybe it's the fact that I know and recognize so many of the dancers.
I don't think I have a favorite piece, but I always like the culminating piece when all of the dancers come out to dance together. It's fun and full of energy.
The entire show is just magical. Maybe it's the costumes or the lights or the dance, but something about the combination of those creates an aura that lingers with me for a while.
It was truly beautiful.
