Dance is a language that transcends borders, barriers, and abilities. We use it to share stories, communicate ideas, and connect with one another. Through dance, we bring our inner world to the light and set free all the passion, pain, and joy we hold within.
—Meghan Williams
We first thought of writing about sober/conscious dance in 2022. We invited Bevin Clempson to write about it and Meredith Rose to photograph it, thinking it would be a great summer story for this year. By coincidence, this spring, we received a lovely first-person story from Meghan Williams about coming back to dance as an adult. Even though these writers have completely different relationships with dance, both pieces glow with love and joy for the experience.
The message from the universe seems clear: this summer, let’s all find some way, and somewhere, to dance.
