In a normal state of mind, you are always thinking a little bit ahead, sometimes quite far ahead, as at the same time you are thinking a little bit in the past, sometimes quite deeply into the past. But you scarcely notice the present. It's constantly racing past anyway. Is it now...or now...or now...or...?
Dancing places you in the moment. It's the spell of the sensuous. Neither past nor present exist. Only now. Only this instant. You are intensely aware of yourself at this moment. You have lost yourself in the eternal present.
Plus it's fun.
“Dancers are the athletes of God.”
― Albert Einstein
