Dancing for 13 Days Until Christmas

Ecclesiastes 3:4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance

I spent my evening at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater at NY City Center.  To witness the talent, the ease of movement and the joy that these well-toned bodies displayed is just incredible.  I my mind, I think I can do what they do.  In reality, I know I can't do most of it.

To be able to make such difficult dancing seem easy requires a serious amount of work.  I've been in dance class before and my dĂ©veloppĂ© typically resulted in my leg extension that angled slightly down.  Lifting my leg to heights were I could see it in my peripheral vision never happened and was only a dream. Flying through the air is really pure fantasy...for me.

While I don't have professional aspirations, I am considering going back to a dance class.  I love the movement and the ability to improve my body in so many ways, especially my flexibility and balance.  Until then, I will appreciate the professionals.  If you're in New York, I highly recommend attending. It is over on January 1st.  Get you tickets today!  They do have

Being in ready for the task ahead of us is so important.  We have to put the work in when it is time to do so and we will be ready when it is time execute.  It is clear that there were many hours of working out to craft the smooth muscle in their bodies and to enable them to perform as they did. 

Today, as we continue to get ready for Christmas, remember it is our time to prepare and we will be ready when the day comes to celebrate!
