A New Dance. A Natural, Honest Dance. 4 months ago

I was a ballerina for ten years. Dance was what I lived and breathed for. It was the song of my heart and the nourishment for my soul.
When I began to experience some pains in my hip I thought: this is the dancer’s life, no pain- no gain! For a year I pushed myself through the motions and slowly I began to admit to myself that something was wrong.
After I was diagnosed with torn ligaments in both my hips and my Dr. telling me that I would need hip replacements by the time I was thirty, reluctantly and painfully I decided to quit ballet.
I have now gone an entire year without dancing as well as having surgery on both my hips. As I go through rehab I am learning to appreciate the body’s ability to move in an entirely different way.
Starting anew is never easy but I live for the moments of freedom that come with the fresh strength from healing.
I am eager to see where I go on my journey of finding a new dance that is honest to my abilities and willingness of my body.

Two years... 8 months ago

I have yet to really get back to dance. My fibro has gotten much worse over the past two years, making dancing painful.

The knee has finally healed, so perhaps I’ll start working up to dancing again this spring. Hard to dance when it is cold as that causes the fibro to flare up bad.

Not Giving Up 10 months ago

I’m not giving up on this, just putting it on hold for other goals. After I accomplish some of those goals, I’ll come back to this.

Dancing helps everything 12 months ago

Dancing has always made me feel better. I danced from the time I was 3 years old until I was 19. I loved jazz the best, but I also enjoyed hip-hop, modern, ballet, and tap. Dance is such a stress reliever for me and it is wonderful exercise too. It’s been years since I have taken a class. I have lost most of my flexibility and strength, and I am so scared to go back.
