Do you know today 29th April is International Dance day 
International Dance Day was introduced in 1982 by the International Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute (ITI), a UNESCO partner NGO, and is celebrated on April 29 every year.
I know a lot of you will say every day should be a dance day…yup you are absolutely right but its something like celebrating Birthday.Something just to make a day special, something that tells you this was the day years back when you came to this world. or realised how important a particular cause was…
That one day keeps reminding you what not to forget
Dance is in our blood. every one can dance even those who say they can’t, they just don’t know it yet, but they are excellent dancers. Every thing and every one under the sun can dance
“Dance as if you can, because its in your heart to do so” STEVEN BELL :)
look at that man in the wheelchair listening to music,shaking his head,tapping his fingers on the arm of the chair, have you seen anyone dancing more beautifully.
dance is every time your soul sways to the music that soothes and makes it happy
look at that mother baking cake for her loved ones in the kitchen. how she sieves the flour,mixes egg and makes a batter,puts it in the oven and switches on to another chore. Have you seen anyone dancing so rhythmically.
Dance is in every work done with dedication,practice and love.
look at the man carrying files,hoping from one desk to another.get in and out of the lift to deliver those files in time, and sometimes when no one is watching he slides in or out of the lift,just for fun
Dance is finding joy in your every day work.
look at the puppy wagging his tail,and with every wag its bum shakes,how cute is that
look at the kids playing in the park,spreading happy vibes all around
At the trees dancing to the tune of breeze no matter how scorching or freeing it is outside
Dance is everywhere
in everything
So dance or find your dance
Don’t wait for that perfect shoe
just be yourself and dance
Dance even if you are barefoot
dance in sickness and in health
dance for your friends and family
Dance to make that crying child smile
Dance to make a dull day bright
dance to the music of love
dance to the rhythm of life
dance cos you are alive
dance cos you got this chance
dance for today
dance cos YOU CAN
Wishing all of you a Happy dance day. may all of you find a reason to dance and find joy in everything you do
I think my 1.75 year-old grandson knew it was International Dance Day, for he danced and bopped up a storm helping his mommy water the potted plants on the deck and patio at their home! I know the phrase,”Dance like nobody’s watching” may be overused, but I still love it. I dance with my dogs and cats and don’t care who sees driving by!
Aww I am sure he did ..I think kids do the best dance….the way their body moves those cute little movements..you cant help but pick them up and hug them….
Loved it Rose how you dance with your woofs and meows…they enjoy it too
And we will be at a ballroom class this evening.
Oh this is so wonderful.I hope you enjoy and have a lovely time
Actually a samba group class. Samba music is great, but I struggle with the dance. … but yes, we also talk private lessons … thus have fun with it.
Rhythm pulls and tugs ever so gently upon my soul …
And my body follows …
Usually in the form of tango
Oh Beautiful ..loved how you described the dance
Thanks Michael
I love this post, Soma, and have always loved dancing! When my husband and I first met, we used to go out dancing all the time…then kids came along and our dancing lessened, but it’s still in us. Occasionally, we’ll start dancing in the kitchen or living room and of course, in our early 50′s, our “kids” are mortified! Then again, I think they’re glad that we still can!
Thanks for a great post and I don’t know how I missed this! Hugs and Blessings to you! xo
Oh this so lovely Lauren.
ITs so beautiful that you and your hubby dance like that..really very sweet.
let the kids be shocked later they will remember these moments and smile or laugh….
..sometimes we break into tribal dance routine , just for fun and all three of us laugh like maniacs
Thanks for sharing such wonderful moments of your life….
Love ya
Laughing like maniacs is what will keep us young, Soma, so keep laughing! Hee,hee!
xoxo
I love dancing….and I loved your post!!
Am glad you liked it Lopa..
Thanks
Wow wonderfully expressed! Never have I felt so good about dancing Soma! I have always considered myself a non-dancer..make me sing in the middle of the night, even if I am half-asleep, I can do it..but dance, nada! But this post of yours makes me realize theres dance in every little movement!
Thank you so much Deep
I am dancing in my chair!
Am so glad you are
I learnt something new today, thanks to you.
Moreover, as someone with close to zero talent in the art of coordinated movement of the anatomy (aka dance), I appreciate it all the more!
Bale bale ! Fantastic post, sweet Somi ! Indeed, we must dance to the music in life! Loved the post – full of energy, positive vibe – just like you!!! Love & hug
Thank you so much Shaheen am really glad you liked it
When I am with my loved ones – my mind an orchestra, my heart flutters in dance
Oh Eric what a lovely comment…your loved ones are lucky and so are you to have such company

Thanks for the post that made me smile so much. I like how you said,”don’t wait for the perfect shoe”
Oh thank you so much and so many time we dont do or postpone a thing waiting for that right attire or shoes….i find it sad…so start now buy later
Yup… dancing is a good thing.
Thanks Steve
Not critizing, but perhaps for those of us with two left feet you should have included: Dance as if you can, because its in your heart to do so.
More than once I have embarrassed wife and son by ‘busting’ a move in the kitchen.
Steven i love dancing and i used to teach dance and i truly believe every one can dance..
but taken your suggestion,loved what you said .
pls check the post again,have included the line as a quote
Thanks
Your are too awesome! Thanks a million!
Taniec ,muzyka łaczą ludzi,wtedy nie myślimy skąd pochodzimy ,tylko bawimy się wspólnie…..beautiful Soma—vey nice day
I absolutely love to dance. I do it all the time. When my children are out of sorts, we turn up the music and dance. It always brings smiles.
Nothing was a brilliant as seeing my seven-year-old teaching her brother correct dance hold at their sister’s wedding a few weeks ago. She asked the DJ to play something he could dance to!!
Great post!
Red.
Better grab my dancing shoes! Happy Sunday, Soma!
beautifully written!
And a belated happy dance day!
I don’t know that today was International Dance Day.
Now I fill this gap.
It’s a very intersting post.I’m not a clever dancer, while the Dance is a big part of your life.
I love dancing Soma! Dance in the name of love…for God!
Hugs♥
You have brought some colour and life into my world today, Soma! It is wall to wall rain in England today!
oh and i would give anything to have even one hour of rain here..its scorching hot and dusty…
Thanks a ton David
I hope you get some sunshine soon
You just had me realise, it has been ages since I’ve danced! Truly ages. And I remember feeling very free when I last danced. This was a great post.
Oh Noeleen, i know what you mean but you have been dancing all this time too…Dance in all its forms is just so liberating and enriching, I do hope you get beautiful chances and reasons to dance

Dance is in our DNA. And DNA is in d.a.n.ce! It’s an ancestral mating ritual apart from anything else. That’s what I like to think anyway.
Thanks Stuart

I love to watch people dance; and, you are correct, people dance by just doing what they love and moving to the unseen rhythms.
Excellent post! I enjoyed the “dance” it does also.
Scott
Scott thank you so much, And i know you understand what i meant here
Salute to the dancer in you
