Is there a quote about living fully in the moment through dance?
Yes, a beautiful one: "think about exactly what you're doing right now and live it and dance it and breath it and be it." It ties dance to a bigger philosophy of presence, not just movement.
What role did dance play growing up, according to these quotes?
