I think that the inspiration or muse behind creative work is almost as important (if not more) than the actual creative outcome. Without the match that sparks there is no fire, so without further adieu here are the inspirations that light up my life!
1. Dance, of course, has been a passion of mine since I was about three years old. I have danced competitively on many different stages across the United States and in front of some very important people. No matter if I am lacking creativity, drive or even just needing to expel emotions I usually turn to dance first. There are many nights I danced away alone for the purpose of pure inspiration and igniting my passions! Although there is nothing more inspiring than taking over the dance floor on Sixth street with all of my friends.
2. My family and friends are incredibly inspirational to me! I am very close with my family, whom are incredibly supportive of my dreams and aspirations. My friends are also powerful muses for me, inspiring me through their own creativity and vibrant youth. They are my rock, even though times can be hard I know they are always there for me. If I ever need anything, even just a smile I know I have all of them there to light up my day.
3. Music is the only other thing I can truly call one of my muses! As a dancer music is vital to my daily life, giving me bursts of inspiration throughout it all. I love how songs can have the power to move your soul, body and mind simultaneously. The way it has the capacity to subconsciously seduce your body into becoming one with it's rhythm before you even realize what is happening. That is the magic behind music. The power, passion and inspiration that it can spark is an unfathomable mystery that I believe completes my world!
Everyone is inspired by something a little different, I absolutely have loved getting to know my followers so I'm just going to keep asking and hopefully you all keep answering...
What is something that truly inspires you?!
