International Dance Day Message
2011 International

I think dance celebrates what makes us human.
When we dance we use, in a very natural way, the mechanics of our body
and all our senses to express joy, sadness, the things we care about.
People have always danced to celebrate the crucial moments of life and our
bodies carry the memory of all the possible human experiences.
We can dance alone and we can dance together. We can share what makes
us the same, what makes us different from each other.
For me dancing is a way of thinking. Through dance we can embody the
most abstract ideas and thus reveal what we cannot see, what we cannot
name.
Dance is a link between people, connecting heaven and earth.
We carry the world in our bodies.
I think that ultimately each dance is part of a larger whole, a dance that has
no beginning, and no end.
