How lovely and I enjoy the thought that we can see music through dance
Rather deep and poetic!

Re:lionreign
The whole family is amazing! Her father's a genial and energetic rock musician,and her four-year old brother - I think he has cerebral palsy - is a real rocker, too!Little Adam tottered up to the amp and turned it up, then mick-Jaggered back and forth on the "stage" swinging his little guitar up and down, all of this as serious as a judge. As for the mother, she ISN"T musical but is one of the prettiest little women I've ever seen and really loves her family. Altogether remarkable.
simply gorgeous

Re: the unconscious moves of a little child always makes me wonder why any
You're right. Elise in fact does take lesson but, boy, she has really assimilated them!

the unconscious moves of a little child always makes me wonder why any
culture could ever outlaw dancing. It is to me part of us to move our bodies to rhythm

Re: Re: beautiful little girl!
She performed spontaneously at a barbecue Saturday night and took my breath away! She forgot the rest of the world and let the music sing through her little body. Maybe I'm easily astounded, being a klutz at dancing, but she amazed me.
