Life’s a Dance Sa’diyya - Photo by Le Vieux Loup Photography Dance it like you own the stage By Zephirah Live your life the way you dance…or…the way you want to dance. Experience of living it both ways has proven that the answer to that last question is – YES. Do you dance in reality the way you envision it in your mind: with the freedom, joy and abandon of just going for it? Even if you do dance with abandoned freedom, are you living your life that way in other areas? What would happen if you did? Would the outcome of what you experience be grander as a result? As we move to the rhythms of life, weaving in and out of events, swaying in response to the various things happening around us and to the tempos emerging within any given situation, we have choices in how we react and respond: similarly to how we have choices in how we react and respond, move and sway, to music. 38 The Belly Dance Chronicles  July 2017
