Simplicity

If you watched So You Think You Can Dance earlier tonight, you may have seen the Alvin Ailey dancers perform about halfway through the episode. I was AMAZED at the finesse and technical ability of each of the dancers. 


Two years ago, before I was heavily exposed to the world of dance, I would have seen something like that and not been able to appreciate it fully. As I sat there tonight, however, I got chills because of the way they created something out of nothing. There was almost no music at all- just a minimalist drum beat and the two dancers. I feel like a lot of artists try to add on in order to finish their art, but this was just the opposite. Truly inspiring.
