Inspired by this insightful quote
"To live is to dance, to dance is to live" - Snoopy
 (from the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz)
 

Dance is one of the most beautiful art forms,
displaying passion in its full glory.
Dance also transcends art as it embodies a universal language,
that moves the heart and soul of us all.

  In this painting “To Dance” ,
the children are expressing themselves through imagination and impulse,
parading their innocence, joy, and wonderment.
They are surrounded by the pure natural beauty and energy,
they share as one. 

This art piece is a tribute to each and every one of the arts:
dance, music, storytelling, visual art, and theatre.
Their elements flow together to reflect a love for life.

This painting is about how the struggle for life can become a celebration of life!
