I am a dancer. I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living.... In each it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes in some area an athlete of God. ~Martha Graham, c.1953
Socrates learned to dance when he was seventy because he felt that an essential part of himself had been neglected. ~Source Unknown

Dance till the stars come down from the rafters
Dance, Dance, Dance till you drop.~W.H. Auden

ps = Let the music move your body.
