She dances, he dances, they dance, everyone dances. Jacob's Pillow wants to know...why do YOU dance?

Inspired by Jean Claude Gallotta's whimsical "Des gens qui dansent" Jacob's Pillow is on a mission to find out why people around the world dance! Maybe you take yoga class or wiggle around when your foot is asleep, or perhaps you're a former professional ballerina or a current hip-hop dancer, or maybe you burn up the floor at the club every weekend or dance alone in your room with the radio on...everyone dances in one way or another.

Tell us why you dance! Email us at info@jacobspillow.org, or send a message on Facebook or tweet on Twitter, and then check www.jacobspillow.org in a few days to view your response and many others!

Jacob's Pillow Dance is a world-renowned arts organization and home of America's longest running dance festival. The 2009 Festival runs June 24 - August 30, 2009. Learn more at www.jacobspillow.org

  • One does not need a paint brush, a potter's wheel, a musical instrument, a camera, a stage set---any thing besides one's own body to manipulate---create. Dance is a basic art form. Judith

  • Thank you, you are so right

  • I just dance because when the music is on, I have to. It just happens. Even when I don't feel like it.

  • because I feel I can create something beautiful with this imperfect body

  • dance is my way of living...

  • I dance because, without it, I would have nothing to strive for. No motivation what so ever.

  • Dance can set me free!~

  • So white people are the only people in the world who can dance as an intellectual exercise.

  • I dance for the betterment of my spirit

  • with dance, i am something bigger
