This can aid me in the future because you watch your dream become a reality, all of the movement I have created in my dance were just a figment of my imagination until it became real when I taught it to my dancers. Watching your dance come to together from your imagination is just a wonderful feeling and makes you feel like your making an impact on the people that watch your dance and see your message throughout the dance.
