I saw this post on Instagram and I could not take my eyes off of the best freestyle I have seen in a long time. He was feeling the music so deeply.

I love freestyle dancing, and I love watching freestyle dance.

When music moves you to another place and your body expresses how you feel as you are pulled from your head to toe and every part of your body feels the sound and feels the words with an intensity so powerful that you are totally free.

Freestyle dancing is the ultimate physical expression of how you feel when the sound of music or a song magically take you over.

I dance a lot, too. An activity common in folks who live long is dancing! I love lots of different music—I can really move to just about anything—but I’m hooked on Etta James right now. We were friends, and when she died, I had to take a break from listening to her songs because they made me sad. But I’ve started her up again, and when I put something of hers on, I believe I can sing like her. I love the bluesy edge to all her music.

I hope this inspires you to some freestyle dancing ... it feels so good!
