Contemporary Dance

Feels like your body is the canvas, the paintbrush and the colour, all together.  And you are the artist.  Every movement is perfect - with the right angle, in the right direction, at the right beat and for the proper duration.  Say- your legs stretching over and above the ground, with your feet in line, adding to the length, and your pointed toes adding finesse.  Or your arms opened, as if circling a huge, round, invisible pillar, your elbows and wrist, making the right bends, with stiffness and suppleness joined like never before.  Or your head, tilted diagonally, looking up, through the ceiling, into the sky, with your neck straightened, as if to help you peek.  That's contemporary dance for me.
