Everyone belongs to many different communities and/or groups defined by (among other things) shared geography, religion, ethnicity, income, cuisine, interest, race, ideology, or intellectual heritage. Choose one of the communities to which you belong, and describe that community and your place within it.
What is "community"? "Com" means "fully" and "unity", "together as one.", so a community would be a group of people fully aggregated together under one unifying force. I belong to a dance community, and it allows me to choreograph the steps I take in life. Instead being led on an obscene detour as a way of escape, I can count on dance to be my remedy. When I hear the music, I feel the music. I feel the rhythm coursing through my vein. Allowing my body to express my feelings, I vent the issues away.
The multifaceted language of dance has dialects ranging from hip-hop to ballet. Sometimes dancers may not understand the music that others dance to, but they can connect by absorbing the emotions that their movements portray. In this diverse community, I get a chance to expose myself to life. We all have different sized feet, different perspectives of the world. We may not fit into each others shoes, but we can learn from one another. By doing so, I believe we can sharpen our viewpoint of everything we do.
Being able to dance with people from Kenya all the way to Malaysia is something that helped me understand the lifestyles of these individuals. Each person's culture and environment plays a role in each move they make to the beat. Meeting so many unique people from this network of dancers encourages me to learn more about the world. The world may be huge, but the dance community is also huge. As each minute passes it grows bigger with newly born members. I would know. I used to be one of them.
Any thoughts on making this better is appreciated!! :)
[I definitely need some suggestions on how to end my piece. I don't want to say "I used to be one of them" because it sounds like I'm not a dancer anymore. I want to instead put it in the terms of "I changed".]
