Can you imagine dance without music, or life without music? It is a "sound through time", it gives us rhythm. Music, like dance, is an essential form of expression in every culture---both are basic parts of traditional and contemporary life. Lisa Macuja, a Prima Ballerina, also dances to modern dance music. Can you feel the beat?Photos were taken in August at the Forum in the Mall of Asia. More about Lisa Macuja here.

Dancing can reveal all the mystery that music conceals. ~Charles Baudelaire
It really does look like ballet for the masses -- something that's not at all easy to achieve!
