Zorba
"The Veiled Male"
It's like the famous quote of "a dancer has nothing to dance about until she is at least 35." And the richness of maturity in a dance cannot be learned in a workshop or classes. I am not discrediting younger dancers. When I was a younger dancer, I used to look at more mature dancers and I saw the depth of being an older person, and to be truthful, I wanted that to show up in my own dance as I got older.
WORD, WORD, WORD, WORD, and WORD friggin' WORD!!!
Whenever I see an older dancer get up to dance, I pay attention. Even if she's a beginner!
