I absolutely LOVE dance! I think that it is hands down the most powerful medium for self expression. When you combine the power of movement with the power of music there are no boundaries. Words could not describe the emotions that this dance conveys. I will never forget the faces of the many people that I saw during all of the time that I spent at MD Anderson cancer center last year. I feel so blessed that my little Rachel is happy, healthy, and not only walking but running and jumping and dancing! Life is beautiful and it is a privilege to live it! I cried when I watched this dance - amazing!!
For those of you who do not watch the show "So You think you can Dance" this piece is about a woman with breast cancer and her friend that is there supporting her through her journey.
Aunt Jo, I am thinking of you and love you! I can think of few people who have more energy for life than you do! You will beat this.
Don't forget to watch it full screen!
My own cancer survivor!!!!
My dad just wrote about this on our family website and said that it was one of the most powerful dances he has ever watched. I thought it was amazing and was crying right along with the judges. I was not a dancer but I am always moved by those who can dance. Yeah for your cancer survivor! She is such a doll.
