23. Inspiration

I had the chance to watch one of my friends dance in an end-of-year recital this afternoon. It was incredible to see people who I usually see at school being in their element on the stage. Of course, there were the obligatory groups of pig-tailed girls (and the token male) whose performance value was based solely off of their adorableness. However, among the older members of the company, the dances were thoroughly entertaining, varied, and enjoyable. The musicality, strength, and artistry that the performers exuded was inspiring; I came home wanting to dance.
