The Dance

Acrylic on canvas board 20"x30"


The Dance

Dancing is so much fun. I use to dance all the time. As a matter of fact, people were shocked to find out that I could dance because I am a quiet person. There's nothing like getting lost in the rhythm of the music. It's so liberating and free. Particularly when you're a kindergartener choreographing routines with your imaginary back up dancers for your imaginary audience to the songs, "Lost in music" by Sister Sledge 🎼 and "Dancin' the night away" by Voggue. It's great to see a large amount of people on the Dance floor showing off the latest moves. There is something special about couples who dance. Their energies are connected They bond through constant movement of spin and turns. The communication of dance can express happiness, sorrow, joy, or pain. I wanted to capture the movements of each couple. It's interesting that some people can't see right away that there are people dancing in this painting. 
This painting was sold to a client in Harlem.


🎼 The song, "Lost in music was produced by the extraordinary Nile Rogers of Chic. He was mentioned in blog entry January 2016.
