It was surreal.
The stage lights started to dim and as I watch the spotlight look for her, I realized that she will be doing this again after a long time. The music starts to fill the air and she begins with her routine.
Avant.
Piroutte.
Arabesque.
These are just few of the steps she executes to the rhythm of the song. She smiles, grasps her breath, moves her body and all these touches her soul.
It is a 4-minute dance routine, 4 minutes of incomparable pleasure to finally DANCE AGAIN.
This is her FIRST LOVE.
Releve.
Grand Jete.
Sissone pas de chat.
She’s down to her last steps….finishes with Chainne poses with arms lifted up and whispers a simple prayer of thanksgiving.
As the main worship takes over, she fades into the background. No one might remember her, but it does not bother her at all because she knows it is something priceless, majestic even, to dance for the Giver of talents. She is just average but you can sense her passion- that makes the difference.
Reverance.
I watch her walks towards me , we clasp hands and in unison we say:
“Indescribable, and yes this is MY FIRST LOVE!”
Dance routine song : Indescribable by Chris Tomlin - one of my favorite Christian songs in this lifetime :)
