I would like to explain to you why dance often loses its magic on screen and is so much more powerful live.
I'm a professional dancer and I have to admit that I don't like watching dance on TV, live dance is like a thunderstorm for me.
You can feel the energy.
The movements.
The power.
But on the screen?
I think something crucial is missing:
the energy between dancer and audience disappears and the atmosphere is lost.
Imagine watching fireworks on your mobile phone - nice, but without the real tingle.
Don't get me wrong:
dance videos are important, they inspire and document and several ties I am also wtaching dance on screen, cause I have no other choice or simply the distance is too far to travel and get there.
They are like a photo of the Grand Canyon:
a nice impression, but miles away from the real experience.
That's why I encourage you to go to dance performances and experience the magic live. Because dance is more than movement - it is energy, presence and life, and as a dancer I know that nothing can replace the energy of a live performance, the atmosphere, the excitement and the magic of the moment.
