I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near.”— Margaret Thatcher You know the saying “Dance like there’s nobody watching, love like you’ll never be hurt, sing like there’s nobody listening”? Sure, we all know it, but who originally said it?

If you’re feeling adventurous or creative, you could try something new like painting, salsa dancing, or whitewater rafting. Next time you lift a frame from a hive and see a dancing bee, circling around in a little cleared ‘dance floor’ surrounded by a group of attentive workers, try and decode the dance. The quote “dance like nobody’s watching” means that you should live your life in a way that is true to yourself, without worrying about the opinions, judgments, or criticisms of others. It suggests that you should do things that bring you joy and express your true self without being influenced or restricted by the expectations or presence of others. The American poet who is responsible for winning our hearts in The Outsiders (Think: Ponyboy) with his poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” suffered a great deal of depression throughout a troubled life. Still, his creative genius shone through, inspiring generations of readers and poetry-lovers all over. 5. “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.”The “dance like nobody’s watching” mindset is a powerful tool for overcoming fear and inhibitions in any area of life, including dancing. When we learn how to let go of our concerns about what others might think of us, we can unleash our true potential and enjoy ourselves more fully. Go out in the world and work like money doesn’t matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching.”— Victor Hugo

Many people take this quote at surface value – dance without inhibitions – but there is a deeper philosophical meaning behind it. When we dance like nobody’s watching, we let go of our ego and judgmental mindsets and allow ourselves to be fully present in the moment. In today’s world, it seems more than ever that there is someone watching our every move. It could be because we post our lives on social media, opening ourselves up to praise and criticism. It seems rare that we keep moments to ourselves, and yet there is power in the self reflection that takes place when you engage in movement for you and no one else. So how is it that we are supposed to “dance like no one is watching” when everyone is? How do we embrace this practice when it is our job to perform in front of others? How can we, as dancers and dance educators, apply this principle to our dance performance, career and life outside of dance? Dance as if no one were watching, Sing as if no one were listening, And live every day as if it were your last.” – Anonymous . You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, Love like you’ll never be hurt, Sing like there’s nobody listening, And live like it’s heaven on earth.”— William W. Purkey Marion Rosen’s book “Dance Like Nobody’s Watching” is a great example of the power of the human spirit and the strength of love. She faced the awesome fear of two dreaded cancers and still managed to live victoriously. This is a great book for anyone who is facing a difficult situation in their life.

15. “Tis better to have loved and lost

Dance like nobody’s watching; love like you’ve never been hurt. Sing like nobody’s listening; live like it’s heaven on earth.” This quote was initially brought to life by William Purkey, a Professor at the University of North Carolina- Greensboro as well as an author. You may think it needs dancing during the night where no one’s watching you or drinking alcohol to minimize the embarrassment and mindfulness of others recognizing you, but there’s more to it. What I’ve described above allows you to interpret the waggle dance sufficiently well to know where your bees are foraging. One way to practice this is through dance – specifically dancing like nobody’s watching. When we dance without judgment or inhibition, something magical happens. We become completely absorbed in the music, the rhythm moving through our bodies as we let go of control and allow ourselves to simply be.
