dance class

I was on a raised stage, in character, teaching a dance class. People stood at the foot of the stage and all around me on the stage. Music pumped through the auditorium. I lead the class through a loosely choreographed routine, which was designed to make people let go, have fun and move. 'Imagine you are in a jungle,' I called to the class. 'Channel your inner jungle moves.' The entire group danced with abandon, many laughing hard and breathless. We danced our way through several tracks until the class came to an end. 'Remember,' I told the class, 'always see the opportunity for movement in every moment, for in movement you will find joy.'
