Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire

Summary

This quote highlights how dancing can transform and elevate personal desires into a multi-dimensional art form. By being a "perpendicular expression," it suggests that dancing transcends mere physicality or reproduction of a desire in a horizontal manner. Instead, dancing brings depth and verticality to these desires, allowing individuals to communicate and showcase their emotions, aspirations, and creative energy through movement. Dancing becomes a means to express something deeper and more profound, extending beyond the simplicity of satisfying a basic desire and embracing the complexity of human expression.
