Emesiri Omofuoma: A dancer’s life (30 Days 30 Voices)

Dance now means so much more at this very moment. Its beyond the moves, an expression of a life form, it gives rhythmic motion to my essence – the very meaning of my life.

I am many things but least of all a writer.

Creative, workaholic, tomboy but definitely not a writer.
But for the sake of a sneak peek into my life, I share these thoughts through written rather than spoken word.

My life is one filled with so much energy and non-stop motion, but sometimes I try.

Sometimes I try to keep calm, take stock of this life of mine; a bright girl, outspoken, confident, direct, gifted… Or so they say.
Seeing myself as these people do makes me wonder, do I deserve these words, the attention? I ask myself.

Well, I am alone, cooped up in a world of my own, surrounded by music, by motion, by colour. The lyrics and rhythm enraptures me; NO, it consumes me. I am lost to it. My body, no longer mine now, belongs to it.

Dance now means so much more at this very moment. Its beyond the moves, an expression of a life form, it gives rhythmic motion to my essence – the very meaning of my life.

With the totality of my existence do I write these words: Dance Rules Everything About Me.

Don’t stop the D.R.E.A.M. Welcome to a Dancer’s Life.
