Wild Wednesday Writing
A dancer strives to achieve a beautiful “flow
of movement” no matter how difficult the series of steps may be. The dance
should look effortless, with no way for the audience to tell where one step
ends and another one begins. As every dancer knows, this is often more
difficult than it sounds.
It’s like the difference between
printing and cursive handwriting. In printing there is a stop, or separation
between each letter. But in cursive, one letter flows directly into the next.
Think about this the next time you are
trying to make your steps flow. Imagine cursive writing – not printing.

Secret #22zz:

printing and cursive writing.”

“I prefer
the pen. There is something elemental about the glide and flow of nib and ink
on paper.”
