Growing up, I've always had a very special place for disco and dance music in my heart. Whitney's Dance with Someday always fulfilled that need.

I could just as easily dance by myself, but dancing with someone, specially someone you love or loves you, is an experience in a whole new level. You feed off each other's energy, you learn new moves together, and you sing every single word.

Now, this song is so meaningful to me because it was part of two love stories. One in which I was brokenhearted and the other when my heart was full and hopeful.

I had been through a break up with my boyfriend of five years. Now, this was a long distance relationship that turned manipulative and time consuming. Months later, I met a guy that was funny and sweet. I thought things were going great. We were making plans to go to shows together and so forth. The day of Stockholm California, he told me that he was just using me to get over his ex. It broke my heart to hear this on a day that should have been filled with fun. The music was great and I was able to forget about it from time to time, but it still hurt like hell. I got to see Elliphant, Icona Pop, Otto Knows and many more others, but the cathartic moment came when Otto Knows played a remix of Whitney Houston's "Dance with Somebody". It was at this moment in time that I realized that I was dancing with somebody who loved me; I was dancing with my best friend, the one person that had been with me through thick and thin. I remember just dancing, jumping and even crying at this realization.

Now fast-forward to February 2018, it was time for 80's prom at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles. I was there with my fiance. He looked gorgeous and I just remember them playing "Dance with Somebody" and falling in love with it all over again and doing what I had previously mentioned, dancing, singing, loving him.

The song was part of my love life in two different instances and that is why it means so much to me.
