Who said dancing is silent poetry

He was a playwright who is considered one of the greatest masters of comedy in western literature. His real name was Jean-Baptiste Poquelin. He also said "Dance is silent poetry. It is a hidden language of the soul of the body. Mom was sick at that time and I was worried about her and being at a dance for two hours gave me peace for two hours, a special kind of peace.

I was in a different world, a world where there were all ages of people there, some tall, some short, some old, some young, some just regular people; some were doctors and lawyers, school principals, nurses, pharmacists etc. We were all the same when we were there doing one common performance. We were all happy for minutes of being in a kind of dream world, the world of ballroom dancing. We were all there to have fun. We were having enjoyment in a pleasant environment with a group of strangers who we usually saw each week and most of the time, we did not even know their first or last name.

We smiled, we danced, we snacked, we socialized and then we went home to our everyday life. When we went to our first social dance on a Saturday night, in November after having a few private lessons, we were kind of intimidated when we saw what talented dancers were dancing there that night and every week thereafter that we frequented the hall. It took a lot of nerve to get up and dance being so new at it. You felt as if all eyes were on you, which was silly. Everyone was doing their own thing and they were not concerned with you.

When you start, sometimes you are not sure what dance to dance to the music playing. Sometimes we would ask an experienced person at our table, was this Rumba or a Foxtrot. After a few weeks, we were sure of ourselves and we no longer had to inquire. That took a bit of the strain off and we could enjoy ourselves at a higher level.
