Crazy Little Thing Called Dance

Hello My Little Friend,

Welcome again in this cloudy, rainy Sunday afternoon. It’s 14:33 now, and I even have to switch on my lamp in order to be able to read... It’s much better if Saint Peter gives us light, not the beneficent power of electricity; but luckily, the melancholy weather doesn’t have an effect on my mood, because I’m cheerful, like most of the time. 8-)

Monday, I took my first exam in the University: It was ’Boogie Woogie, Rock & Roll, Swing’, but mostly Rock & Roll. Since I got a 5, it was one of the greatest triumphs in my life. Although, I was always considered to be ’unskilful in almost every physical activity’, this time I managed to prove, that I don’t have ’problems’ with dance at all.

Ever since I can remember, I was always interested to dance. I simply wanted to Move. This term, like ’Dance’, has much more to say than it seems at first sight. In my way of thinking, ’Dance’ is the product of the cooperation of Music and your Soul. If you listen to Music, it ’possesses’ you, and then become embodied in your organism by trying to express itself with the help of your moves. This way, Music will have a real message, so it begins to ’communicate’ with the World.

Being the ’means’ of Music is a fantastic feeling as My Rocky Teacher told me in the last lesson ’The best thing in dancing is that you can take advantage of your body.’ I’m absolutely agree with him, and I always thought the same. While dancing every part of your body moves: you can feel your heartbeat, breathing, and all of your muscles strain from your toe to your face. By jumping up or kicking, you merge with the air, the atmosphere of the hall for one second. You don’t touch the air, the air receives you. The ground lets you step, and you can feel this connection with the sensitive receptors of your sole by imressing the clump of your shoes with each and every step you take.

Dancing is like a beautiful painting, which is perfect in every particular: the space (the ground, the air) makes the background, the Music is the frame, and you’re the absolute focus of the composition. Dance is the most wonderful cooperation of Humanity and the World, isn’t it? 8-)

In the slideshow I show you some pictures of the rocky group and dance in usual.

Have a Nice Day, and a Pleasant Evening in the first Sunday of Advent!
(Christmas is near. ;-D)

Ciao!

My Favourite Moment

Hello My Dear,

I hope you had a good day. ;-)
Unfortunately, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. I had too much to do, but I never forget about You!

Today I gave a presentation and took two tests: a Midterm Test (’MT’ or ’ZH’ which you prefer… ;-) ) in the Reading & Writing lesson, and a shorter one in the linguistics lecture (the Hungarian one). This was a bit exhausting for me, so I deserved a bit relaxation.

’Relaxation’ means a lot of things for me: for instance today I just listened to Music and did nothing. For the external spectator it seemed like that I don’t do anything, but I was thinking of good things in my Life. (I like doing it, really because it makes me happy.) …and then something really good came into my mind: Christmas.

The sense of peace and happiness stole over me and several ideas flashed into my mind. Naturally, I will give presents for my loved ones for Christmas; it’s a great chance to show them my feelings. I express them every day, if there's an opportunity, but Christmas is a very special occasion from this aspect.

Sometimes Life can give us beautiful presents such as memorable Moments, deep Feelings, and all the things that can make the Sense of our Life. (Yes, it comes from Life itself.) Some days before Christmas I had a very special Moment, which I would like to share with you.

Years ago I walked alone in the streets of Siófok, in the centre of this little town. (Sometimes it’s good to be alone, observing and feeling the World around you.) We had a ’real’ winter that year with gently chilly weather, and an extraordinary smell wove in the air: the ’Christmas is near’-smell made of orange, cinnamon, freshly baked Christmas rollcake and Love. Wonderful…

In the illuminated streets I could see happy, smiling people walking together with their children, relatives, Friends and enjoying the wonderful winter holiday. I was wearing my favourite, long cloth coat with my red scarf, and feeling good, really good. I couldn’t wish for anything more. As my footprints impressed the fresh, sugar-white snow, it crunched under my feet. While I was looking at the beautifully illuminated Water Tower I felt very happy, simply Happy that I’m alive and I can Live in this homelike Moment. That was one of my favourite presents which I got from the World for Christmas.

I’ve already started to prepare for Christmas. And you? 8-)

I hope you’ll have a great evening!
Have a Fantastic Time!

Dóry, who’s looking forward to Christmas 8-)
